Bianchi Infinito
Check out these three new builds on the floor at Gran Fondo. We think these three capture the essence of all around bikes - each in its own special way.

The Bianchi Pinella has long been our measureing stick to judge other bikes by. Made from Boron steel this 16.5 pound beauty is light, stiff, responsive, smooth on gravel roads, and durable enough to keep coming back for more. The 2010 frame set features a new stiffer carbon fork for better handling. We built this Pinella up with Campy's new Athena 11 speed group featuring a 50/34 compact crank and a 12/29 cassette. Ready for some steep hills?

The S-Works Roubaix is the real deal. This is the same frame set Tom Boonen has used to win two Paris-Roubaixs. This is a high performance carbon fiber machine that can still handle all the chip and seal, pot holes, and gravel you can pedal through. The Roubaix is super light coming in at 15 pounds with Campy Chorus 11 speed and Fulcrum Racing 1 wheels. If you are thinking about an S-Works Roubaix act soon, we are told they will sell out by the end of spring.

Say hello to Bianchi's new carbon offering the Infinito. This is the bike we have been asking for. The Infinito is very light and stiff, but it doesn't sacrifice comfort. It is ready for any Pro-Tour race, but also happy doing a local century. High performance should never come at the cost of comfort and stability and the Infinito delivers. The Infinito comes as a frameset or in three standard builds. We chose to build this up with SRAM Rival and Mavic Askium wheels, surprisingly the complete bike weighed in at 16.5 pounds. You can easily make this a 15 pound rocket and still not sacrifice durability.
