Anyone know the weight (or where I can find out the weight) on the Bianchi Imola and the Eros?

Weight?!! Weight?!!

yea, well... it's not a huge concern, but it may be the only real difference (on paper) between the 3 bikes I'm looking at.

Eros still coming with the Campy rear hub? My shop didn't bring them in this year so I haven't seen one. The low end campy hubs are just bricks. The Imola with the 105 groups is a much nicer bike. Old Campy and the current high end stuff is nice but the low/mid range stuff just can't compete with Shimano. From selling them last year I would say there is over a pound difference in weight and would be willing to put money down that its even more.

Thanks for the info - I'm really out of my league with all this road bike stuff. Any guess on what the imola weighs?

that Imola is a sharp looking ride!

 

[jacksonpt]

looks like it's between that and the quest.

All the bikes you're looking at are good quality rides... have you test ridden any?

I've ridden a couple of Jamis - one CX bike and one road bike, but they don't stock the quest and won't order one without a down payment. The imola is in stock, but that particular LBS is 2.5 hours away... haven't had a chance to get out there yet.

Call them up and ask them to hang it on their scales... every bike shop should have a hanging scale with a hook.

Bianchi makes weights???
