Strengths: Very nice looking bike. Nice and stiff frame, handles very well!Weaknesses: A bit front-heavy with the Dart2, so I've changed the fork with a Fox.Bottom Line: This is a great bike for XC-ing. Throw away the heavy, almost-none-adjustable RockShox and get a lighter one, and you'll have one hell of a bike at a reasonable price!

Strengths: Beautiful frame, disc specific rims, full shimano deore and deore lx components. excellent geometry. climbs very well.Weaknesses: none yet, broke the chain within a week, easy fix. dart II is adjustable but nothing special, but i'm glad bianchi spent the money on the frame instead of the fork.Bottom Line: More than i expected. best sub-$1000 hardtail i've come across. i get compliments everywhere i go. i'm so pleased i didn't go with trek or giant: a little more money but bianchi set this bike up well w/o cutting corners on componentry. i wish the frame was made in italy, but my next bianchi will be. this bike is so manuverable and light that i can keep up with much more experienced riders and pass them on the climbs. i'm strong enough to abuse most anything i use and this bike takes the beating w/o complaints. strong, rugged, and wonderfully light. nicest hardtail a college kid could ask for!
