The Bianchi Giro

Curt Fischer photo

The 27-speed Giro is it's own deal--there's nothing else quite like this Easton-tubed celeste road bike in the Bianchi line-up.
The Frame
Bianchi MegaPro Easton Ultralite aluminum alloy. The well-regarded tubes assume the MegaPro position and raise the frame's performance.
The Ride
The responsive frame and carbon fork give you perfect feedback. The Giro's geometry is racer than that of Bianchi's non-Reparto road bikes, but the 90-degree stem lets you sit up, if you wish. New for '99, Shimanon 9-speed 105 parts give a lot of bang for the buck!

Geometry: Brava, Eros, Giro
