For Sale: Bianchi D2 carbon Pista complete

Rounce: I am actually very happy you posted the below. You got PM :)

Yo Benjamin. Sorry if I've got this wrong but I thought we'd agree'd, during an admittedly rather brief conversation at SE+polocrew drinks, that I'd be buying the complete bike off of you after a period of time. At the time you'd said you were happy with the price you paid + a bit more for saving it from fleabay + a donation to the forum.

Sorry if I misunderstood but it came as a bit of a shock seeing this thread, then you confirming via PM that you were splitting. It's a shame to have this luvverly build split up, but do I at least still have first dibs on the frame+forks?

Sorethroat: More than anything (other than collecting the bars from Matt), I was planning to speak to Rounce when I pop by the Roebuck last Tuesday. He has got a PM explaining the whole situation surrounding the bike.

Never my intention to split it, and the bike is still in one piece sitting in my room with a few DIBS on the parts, and I have always maintained, whole bike before split, thus the ball is now in Rounce's court :)

I spoke to him the other nigfht at SE and Ic ouldve sworn he said he was saving it for you.

Regards,
Benjamin

Went round to Ben's a little earlier, had a nice chat and I'm glad to say that all is cool. I can quite cheerfully say that the forum can rest assured that this beauty is/will be in safe hands now, and in the near future.

Oh, you said that you decided to keep it. I'm back in The Uk, but if rounce's coughing up The whole sum, then it's OK, I suppose.

Yeaps, if not for the posting above, I would not have been alerted that you are still keen on the bike.

Glad that it will soon leave the safety of my wall and gets ridden more. More importantly the bike pretty much intact and in London :)

After my correspondences with you, I did decide to keep it. You were the lest person I contacted, IIRC. I then proceeded to move to arange for the aforementioned split in Sam's post above to fund certain improvements (HED front sold, replaced by Specialized Tri-spoke which I already have etc.).

Then came Rounce's posting which after speaking to him 2 weeks ago and not heard from him since I assumed he went cold on the deal. I should have in hindsight contacted him again.

Quite a quick arrangement actually, one phone call, he popped by in 20 minutes, a 20 minutes chat and inspection of the bike and a deal was sealed with a handshake :)

Will leave the future plans of the bike to Sam to disclose himself.

That bike is too tall for him ;-)

what a bike.. poor me didnt get what i want.. =(

With 3 cm seat post left sticking out from the top of the seat tube, it's just slightly under my max size, could have rode it just fine :)
