Anyone know anything about a new Oltre on the way? This one looks a little suspicious (real or fake?). It's both a B4P any HoC. It has a retro style decal on the seat tube. What do you say folks?

I'd really like that company to embrace the future and to leave that sick green colour behind. I can't help but think that it holds back the brand a little.

A Bianchi has to be celeste (or at least some details), even though there have been some pretty ugly combinations. Belkins green and celeste is not the best combination and Liquigas Bianchi also had some nasty combinations. I must say that the celeste color is the one main thing that is making Bianchi stand out in the crowd.

But the question still is, do you think the frame above is real or fake?

I wasn't really paying attention at ExpoBici last week in the Bianchi booth, but I didn't see anything that remotely resembled that...

I found this that looks a little like the "new Oltre".

Sorry but, as os72 writes, the only think that still makes a Bianchi look like a Bianchi is the celeste color.
It would be a huge marketing mistake to discard it.
An new, more aero, HoC Bianchi frame would be most probable as oltre, with all its incarnations, is practically unchanged during the last years.

The 2015 Oltre xr2 has already been released with just a new paint scheme. I don't think this is legit but I believe we will see an Oltre xr2 CV soon.
