    I have a Dogma F. I was hesitant to buy an all-purpose race bike since I ride on bad tarmac often (and obviously because it’s silly expensive).
    Riding on 28mm Conti’s (on Princeton Carbon Works 6560 strada wheels), it rides like an absolute dream. Potholes? No problem. Cobbles? No problem. Corners like it’s on rails, and while I might not descend like Pidcock in the TdF, I’ve beat a lot of strava downhill PR’s.
    That said, the steel Willier is absolutely gorgeous and is probably the only production non-carbon bike I would consider buying….but I’m a heretic and I’m not putting Campag anything on it. Maybe Bora wheels, but Shimano group set for sure. Sorry not sorry. 😂

    You should have featured Basso. Bianchi completely lost its way. The Specialissma is hideous, overwrought and generic all at the same time. The color is completely uninspired. Wilier and others seem to capture Italian mystique, history and innovation in a way the Bianchi does not.

      @NordicUrs Před měsícem +2

      Just like a BMW manufactured in South Carolina is not a real BMW, an Italian bike manufactured in Taiwan or China (like Pinarello, Bianchi, Wiklier, Cipolini) is not truly Italian. At least Basso is manufactured in Italy, thus it is truly a real Italian bike.

    It's a missed opportunity not to showcase Basso's brilliance. Bianchi seems to have veered off course completely. The Specialissma, in particular, is a jumble of unimpressive design, appearing both overdone and lacking in character simultaneously. The color choice is utterly uninspiring. Other brands like Wilier effortlessly capture the essence of Italian mystique, history, and innovation-a feat that Bianchi falls short of achieving.

    C series Colnago bikes are not sexy anymore because nobody races them. They are a Gucci handbag now (no offense to Gucci). I would still love a Colnago Master. The V4R is made in Taiwan. I would also add a Cinelli stainless steel frame. De Rosa for sure.
