I would have bought one of their road bikes when I was shopping for one
but Bianchi is not readily available in Montreal for some reason and I
prefer to have a bike that I can get parts for easily from the LBS. I
would not have any problem recommending a Bianchi. I still ride mine
and
it's nearly 20 years old.

What proprietary parts does a Bianchi have?

Good point.

I guess I want to buy a bike that is sold locally. That way I get a bike
that fits me instead of getting the bike fitted to me, if you see what I
mean.

I was wondering, since some bicycles now have proprietary bottom
brackets (e.g. Trek MadOne) or integrated headsets.

But as far as I know, the Gang-Green paint (AKA Celeste Green) is the
only thing really proprietary. Though it's close to your velomobile
thing IIRC.

In real life, the colors are not even close to matching.
