Do Bianchi Castro Valley bikes sell in Florida?

Hiya:
It's a bit too hilly in San Diego for a single chainring bike, but I
was wondering if someone in Florida, Kansas or the Central Valley of CA
has noticed riders on the Bianchi Castro Valley, either as
commuters/transportational cyclists or on group rides, charity rides,
etc.

I don't know. I bet the biggest-selling bikes in Florida are mountain
bikes -- which is really odd, but I'm sure it's true. And there are many
fixed-gear bikes in San Francisco...

Dear David:
Yeah, go figure. On the other hand, MTBs perform well, or at least
better than road/racing bikes, in dirt, mud and dense undergrowth.
THOSE they've got in Florida. Maybe it's safer with the 'gators than
with the tailgaters :-(

It seems that we get, on occasion, a rider planning on doing a cross-country
trip on something like a Specialized Allez or racing bike. In that case, we
recommend the Castro Valley, and there's always initial interest, but they
seem to waver and lose their interest.

With its 42x11-26 gearing, it's plenty enough for Florida terrain, and the
integrated lights and dynamo hub, it's really a stand-out package. But
people riding bikes around in college town here in Gainesville are poor
students and can't afford the $850 retail price.

Hopefully we'll sell the one we have in stock this year 😉

There are a lot of Bianchis around Tallahassee but I have never seen
this model. That would be a perfect commuter bike for these parts.

new hi end models tend toward the "silk road" style-accessoried long
distance mtb and upright

There are many hills in Northern Florida. And don't forget Mount Dora in
Florida.

"Mount Dora is the historic heart of Lake County with no fewer than
1,400 lakes and a few gentle hills here and there, including the Mount
of Dora, which soars to a peak of 184 feet. "I climbed Mount Dora"
T-shirts and bumper stickers are available at the chamber of commerce,
located in one of the finest examples of adaptive restoration of
discarded railroad depots in the country."
