Hello everyone!
I'm asking for your help...
I was riding since a year ago an Oltre XR3 ultegra w/ Reynolds assault slg 41 mm... I really like the Bianchi, the colour, the passion.
Recently I found a Storck Aernario Platinum edition, SR11, Bora Ultra 50mm... 6.3 kg, and of course I bought it, such a nice bike... Fast, lightweight, handles really well...
I'm thinking in:
-Sell the Bianchi or,
-Sell the Storck w/ the Ultegra and the Reynolds wheels, and keep the Bianchi with the SR and the Bora ultra ...
I know it's a very personal decision...
But I'm not sure, so any help will be grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Frame specs are a world appart between those two frames. One claims ultra-light, the other ultra-confort.
Since you have both bikes already, and you rode both alread, the best advice i can give you (probably not the one you want to hear...) is:
Put the SR11 and the Bora's on the Bianchi (what could be more Italian?), and ride your bianchi with the better parts for a week or two, this will show you how different framesets behave under the exact same conditions. and which one is your favourite, looks, confort, agility and so on, you get the point.
And then you can produce a much more educated opinion than any of us could ever give you. after all you have a unique opportunity to put both framesets on the same playing level (same groupset, same wheelset), you have all the variabilities at arms reach.
Have some fun tinkering, riding and comparing...
