Bitches bitch'n'

Trianchi

I've decided to replace my ageing, and too small, Trek Singletrack mountain bike that I use around my Basel pied-à-terre. My wife thought it was a good idea, but that I didn't need another Bianchi. So, I'm getting a Bianchi Magma 9S. It is rather pretty.

Bianchi Magma

To be fair, she was thinking of the price of B1 and B2, which have carbon frames and mid- to upper-tier components. The Magma has an aluminium frame, and more cost-conscious components, so comes in at a round a third of the price.

I shall call it B3. Not that there was a third banana, but ne'ermind.
