    Maybe not an image of beauty (at least I wouldn't normally post something like this) but this is the latest addition to the stable.

    I'm not really a fan of aero bikes, looks-wise.

    I'm with you there but That's an expensive bike to buy if you don't fancy the looks! :)

    Is it the S5 then that hugs the back wheel more & (imo) looks chunkier as a result? Also a full on side profile doesn't flatter the seatpost.

    But yeah, I think what makes that look so good (apart from wheels and colour scheme, which I like) is that it doesn't actually look "that" aero.

    Is that the new 2019 S3? - Wheredja pick it up?

    Oh and is it a 54 or 56? When you get up to 58+ in cervelos they start to look awfully gangly in the head tube. 54 is the aesthetic sweet spot

    I'd like to see what it's like with the lighter coloured tan wall tyres, like the ones on the felt above it. Might look better but thats just my taste. A lovely bike all the same.

    no prizes for guessing which bike shop so. to be fair, they probably don't have much competition in terms of readily available backdrops.

    Cool. Surprised at that. Looks great anyway. Definitely an image of beauty.

    Lovely shot/colour scheme. Looks like a big aul HT on it compared to my own 58, I'd probably need a -17!

    It's 20cm, which means I have to run it almost slammed (ok, not quite!) to get the same position as an older race bike (19.5 HT). Smallest HT I have is 17.3. The headset on my S3 has a 7 or 8mm bearing cap so I can go a little lower before resorting to -17!

    This is my machine and I love it.

    It a beauty to me anyway and certainly the nicest bike (by a long shot) I've ever owned. Pictures never seem to do it justice.

    The only other colour I'd go for besides black , although I do have a navy that I wish was black.

    I do love that colour scheme. If I could find that frame at a reasonable price I'd be on it

    Beautiful frame. Only reason I didn't get one is cos the missus already has an XR3 and half the club have either the 3 or 4.
    Edit: wait a minute... maybe you are in the same club!

    Sweet ride and it has to be that colour or the inverse black/celeste. The bottle cages would have to go though the red isn't doin it for me :D

    I used to think the Celeste frames were OTT but seen a few recently and they stand out. Definitely come around on them.
    Very nice looking bike!

    I’ve a black/celeste Infinito frame that will build up for summer (same wheels too). Really looking forward to better weather for it

    Watching highlights of Tour Down Under on Eurosport and liked these, 2019 Ridley Noah Fast Lotto Soudal are on are nice. Not sure about the bar tape tape though.

    Thanks lads!

    I used to think the same about the colour but it really grew on me and I wouldn't buy a Bianchi in any other colour now.

    Regarding the red bottle cage comment, you aren't the first to say that. I like them but think a lighter shade of red would be better. There is a little bit of red in the frame and wheels so I thought I'd get away with them. I have them from an older bike and wanted to use them. I have a nice set of celeste cages from my last bike (black XR2) but think that's over doing it (and two sets of carbon cages lying unused doesn't seem right). What colour would you suggest? Black is safe but boring I think.

    Raam, I'm not in that club but sounds like there is a lot of nice bikes in it :-)
