you know how I find out? back then a year ago I was under the same dilemma, a Swobo or a Pista? (when they both used to cos the same), so I went to BLB and tested ride both the Swobo and the Bianchi, in the end I decided on the Bianchi because I quite like how it ride.
the OP should do the same instead of asking question.
I agree, Ed. Because what works for one person may not work for another. I went with a Fillmore, in part, because I'm really tall and have a long torso. So I wanted a bike with a longer top tube. Had I not ridden other bikes first, I wouldn't have known which one was the most comfortable for me.
One rule of thumb, though, is that when you buy OTP in that general price range, you are going to get a bike with some naff components that you will need to upgrade later. So go with the bike that you like the most and don't sweat it!
