Yes and it's awfull
Saw the xr5, couldn't share pics
It's a s5 cervelo mixed with a generic time trial frame
Very wonky, strange shapes, Weirder than the s5 cockpit but in the same vein etc
Think it will be heavy even compared to xr4,
aero ?
maybe
but very very gaudy
pinarello look regular , normal compared to it

The second link uses a Pinarello geometry diagram for some reason…probably just the unprofessional nature of the site.

Noted that to, but my guess is that it's just a template with no real connection to XR5 or Bianchi.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 12:10 pm

It's very round design
Round seattube curved around the rear tire
Top tube curved up
Weird one piece or look like cokcpit a la s5 but worst, positive stem
center of the handlebar going up compared to the hoods like the coefficent handlebar if you want
Etc

Hoho, this sounds funny! I love viewing the weirder designs. At times the uniqueness kind of speak to me. I actually like Dogmas and S5.romanmoser wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 2:19 pmIt's very round design

Though i have to admit, i also like riding a bike that doesn't draw attention (kind of ambivalent )
I wonder when we can expect to see the new Colnago (maybe V4R) ?

I think you'll like it very much then ...
Even if you don't buy , ride it

Bianchi in any meaningful sense is dead, and long so. It's just the branding that continues to exist. They're the worst historic / big brand in the market today, in my view - and that's really saying a lot given how many are in the running for that title.
But how many rides before it snaps in two? I think that has to be the main question these days with Bianchi ...romanmoser wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 10:42 amYes and it's awfull

What happened to bianchi did they get sold off?
I mean the xr4 was one of the greatest bike of its generation
I get that the new specialissima was a bit lack luster but to call the brand dead is a bit far fetched
If we get a faster as beautiful as the xr4 as the new bike i'm all for it
If they *f##k* up like they did with the specialissima then we will see
1997 to Cycleurope (Grimaldi). I think they began brand licensing almost immediately, but the main business was largely unchanged for a while. Since then it's gradually got worse and worse and more costs and corners were cut.cajer wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 3:53 pmWhat happened to bianchi did they get sold off?
IMO you might be better off buying sub $450 AliExpress frames, these days.
