Bianchi Castro Valley bike review

Bianchi produced the Castro Valley bike in 2006 and can be classified as a Commuter bicycle.
Castro Valley bike is available in many sizes such as 44cm (centimeters), 49cm (centimeters), 52cm (centimeters), 55cm (centimeters), 58cm (centimeters) and 61cm (centimeters).
Bianchi Commuter Castro Valley can be found in one single color which is Gang Green.
This bike is equiped with 700 x 28C Vittoria Randonneur tires while the rims are manufactured by Front: Alex ACE 19, Rear: Alex ACE-19, 32-hole. Bianchi equiped this exact model with Cane Creek SCX-5 brakes, Shimano Tiagra STI Dual Control levers braking system and Front: Shimano Dynamo, Rear: Shimano Tiagra hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Bianchi used Bianchi DB CrMo material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Castro Valley to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Bianchi alloy.
For the smoothest biking experience Sugino XD500T, 42 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to SRAM chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Bianchi, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Tiagra STI Dual Control gear shift levers.
