turpe I can see the similarities with a Concept, but the seat-tube doesn't have the cutout like on the Bianchi, which is one of the more obvious differences. The headtube angle is around one degree off - the Bianchi is 74-75, depending on frame size, the Merckx is 74-73 (as in, it's steeper on the smaller frame sizes). I also think it's a lot more of a 'sloping' geometry, as opposed to the Bianchi's more traditional track geo.
Good point about the geometry, I failed to notice the back wheel being held a few inches off the ground, when that wheel is down and the thing is level it certainly will reveal a more sloping top tube.
I will down grade my obsevations to 'look's a bit like the . . . ' ;P
Very nice bike by the way, anyone know how much the frame/fork would set you back ?
