Notes:

This is my bike I intend on using for the track and as an excessive ride for around town.

I need to get a new picture.

I'm currently sharing the wheels between this and my affinity. I'm going to get a pair of mavic ellipse' soon along with a few other components.
I started this build on a budget, but I'll hopefully have it done very soon.

I thought there was a big marked for affinitys? As for making your Bianchi complete, I would go for a Deda sterm and seat post, so it will be Italian like the frame. And a nice Fizik of course :)

I've had a couple of people express interest,

but no one has come through yet.

Eh, the full italian thing doesn't move me much. It's pretty tough to beat thomson for the price. Plus, that would require me getting campy record cranks which are outrageously expensive and wheels that are significantly more expensive than the mavics and only come in tubular. If I only rode this on the track, I would be fine with tubular, but I ride on the street every day and tubulars would just be asking for trouble.
I've heard some bad things about fizik saddles. My friend said it was the comfiest saddle he had ever used, but after a week of riding it, he started feeling a little bit of numbness in his reproductive organs. I'm not sure how I feel about that haha.

I've liked all of your last three choices in bikes man, keep up the good work. When its done, I'm sure it will ride fast and look beautiful. How have your open pros held up? I'm thinking of picking up some to replace my heavy ass miche pistards. I'm over all that "deep v" garbage.

Thanks a ton

I'll do my best ha. I think I'm done buying bikes for a while now. A few components here and there, but no frames for at least a year.

I've only had one ride on it so far and it was snowing like mad. I'll let you know how it is when I can actually get out there and ride on some dry pavement.
The picture doesn't do this bike justice.

My open pros are awesome. I've had no problems with them and I beat the shit out of my wheels.
