My bicycle is a Bianchi "Advantage" -- it is already about 15+ years old. I really like this bike -- it just feels right to ride. I love the indexed 21 speeds, and the brakes are far better than my old 1978 Raleigh Gran Prix; which also rode like a buckboard wagon, by comparison.

This is what they call a "hybrid" bike -- better on the roads than a mountain bike, but capable of trail riding; though soft sand and rough rocks would not be too swift...

My wife has a similar one, with a bit shorter frame. We both test rode several other bikes, and we both agreed that this one was head and shoulders above the others. Easy to pedal, smooth ride, nimble handling, great shifting and brakes... Everything is very Goldilocks!
