And you expect people to congratulate you 
Only kidding  I'm just jealous and am waiting for my LBS to get one in so that I can go and ogle. Looks fantastic in the magazines and I'm sure it'll be better in the flesh. Unfortunately I bought a new bike earlier in the year but am sorely tempted to sell up and buy one 
What's your first impressions ? Have you been out on a proper ride yet ? Got any pics ?

Will take loads of pictures tomorrow. First impression, from an admitedly short but hilly test ride- just as the reviews found, very very comfortable and quick too. This is my first superbike and I was looking for an all day ride, multi-talented bike. The Infinito is certainly that! i recall from the reviews I read a couple of lines in particular...
'... Possibly all the bike you'll ever need...'
'... if we were forced to choose one bike to race, commute,ride British and European Sportives on- and clip on some aero bars for the occasional evening 10- then the Bianchi 2010 Infinito would be on a shortlist of one.' 
Beautiful to look at, Campy Athena, my LBS is selling them out as quick as they can get them.

I'm very very jealous!! I'm looking at new bikes but think this is just out of price range 
Where did you read the review? I haven't been able to find one yet.

Miserable sod
Celeste green is Much more interesting than 90% of bikes out there.
I'm not knocking Specialised but their 2010 range is predominantly a dull black/grey, Boardmans and Planet X's are black (although PX do a nice pink) and GIANT are either black, white or an adventurous combination of black and white. Even the newbie Comtat couldn't muster anything more interesting than black and white. WTF  Is the recession leading to bulk buying of black and white paint or something ?
I'd take Celeste green any day.

Oh ok.
On a Bianchi note, here is the new 2010 HoC 928 too. A pic I took at the cycle show.
Oh and to the OP. Enjoy your new bike

Sadly, I just had a warranty issue with my 2yr old C2C 928. To help me through the grieving process (with a 3 day endurance ride coming up) I decided to check the internet for 2010 models (haven't looked at another bike in 2yrs as was still deeply in love).
I am soooo hoping they can't get a 2009 replacement frame. Now that I also race this will be so sweet.
