A 33.33 miles (1450feet) dawdle towards genteel Harrogate on the Boardman ADV plus 3.2 miles on the Bianchi on the way for its service. I mentioned that it (the latter) was a bit noisy and was wondering about the Bottom Bracket but the mechanic thought it was the chain and cassette. Whilst recovering from the likely cost of this (plus wheel trueing, new blocks et al)I noticed that of the 20 or so Bianchi bikes on display in Woodrup (Kirkstall in Leeds)19 were equipped with Shimano, none had SRAM and just one had Campagnolo.
I muttered "Italian bike, Italian equipment?" on my way out and received a shrug in response.
