Hello everyone. I've been riding a department store mountain bike for about a year and am looking to upgrade. Went to a local bike shop asked them to recommend something for me under $500 . The nice gentleman refered me to the Bianchi Cortina. I test rode it and it rides nice compared to my steel framed mtb.
I'm looking to see if anyone here has this bike and get give me an opinion on how they like it or can give me any other recommendations. I commute to work by bike 2-3 times a week 16 miles round trip through mostly paved roads.
