If I were to do an “aero” bike, this could very well be the one. How do you like it so far? Does it come in a more “all celeste” color, like the Specialissimo? I did check out the geo and it would work quite nicely for me. I mean, if I were in the market for a new bike and all, which I’m not. But this is one of the few bikes currently out there these days that I actually do a double take on.
My riding buddies use Bianchi, and local club and lbs are Bianchi dealers...So my C60 friends most of the times are Bianchi's and Oltre XR4
Yes it come in more Celeste colour, and with Bora 50 look gorgeous....
Lucky for u that Oltre Geometry can fit u, i tried but in my case 55 too big (have to use it with 100 stem probably), and 53 too low stack (have to use plenty of spacers). Too bad there is no 54 size, otherwrise probably will ride Specialissima ....

@calnago
I haven't hit all of my rides yet to fully vet it. I still need to do a nice, aggressive descent. My initial impression though is that it's a very well rounded bike. In the next few weeks I should get some back to back time with the Izalco Max.
One of the friends we ride together often, is really fast with his Oltre XR4 on downhills, and he never look that fighting with bike on downhills, always look very stable (and he also comment that his Oltre XR4 is so stable on downhills) Even tight situations, look like he is on rails..
I also tried, but Oltre XR2 in 55 (which was a bit big to me), but feeled really planted.. For XR4 they say it's even better.. And u done awesome choice (and lucky for u that Geometry fit u, i dont have that luck with Bianchi
)
Also ur bike look very nice...If u are interested in actual weight, Oltre XR4 in 55 was aproximetly same weight as my C60 in 50S when we measure on my friends assemlby process (around 1150 gm for a frame)
