Hi every one... this is my Bianchi Oltre (Nero edition)...
I bought frameset with saddle, stem and handlebars used from, a friend of friend... It was, a real bargin cause he changes his bike frequently, and he allways buys top of the class...
The rest of build is all Ultegra 6700 components except 105 chainset with praxis chainrings, and stages 105 powermeter, paired with Planet-x Ct45 Alu-Carbon wheelset...
I know it is unusual to se high end frameset with 105 component or Ultegra, but this bike is workhorse for me, and i love every bit of her... It is quick, comfortable and beautiful too..
So...

that is a nice bike. The only thing I can think of to change is to get some celeste green bar tape and the same fizik saddle but in celeste green.

Very nice!! I'm a fan of an all black Bianchi (even though mine is Celeste!!)
A lot of people are running the Planet X brakes nowadays, I think I may get some for mine.

This frame is already a classic.
Wheels will be a huge upgrade for sure.

Little update...
i sold planet x wheels and bought shimano rs-81, for all-round racing and training this year... (for next year ima going to get vision metron 40 tubulars... waiting for winter sales)...
shimano wheels are better quality in my opinion, better rolling, lighter but give slightly less aero performance... and i got them on nice discount...
also i changed saddle form fizik antares to san marco aspide fx... because I had groin numbness wihth fizik, and aspide solved that problem...
will post better picture ond day light..

Smartly built race bike! I was always loved the Oltre frame it nice to see another on the board.
Some bittersweet news... My oltre developed crack in seat tube where aero cut begins, so I sent it for warranty charge, and bianchi accepted reclamation and I will be reciveing new oltre xr2 (2015)...
