I finally broke my Bianchi for the last time and got rid of it, but as a rigid MTB I was always amazed at how much better it rode with just a few more psi in the tires. The range was 35-65 and I always ran it at 65. I don't do mountain much, but I'm absolute hell on a bike on curbs, ramps and stairs - the "urban mountains" if you will. And on smooth pavement, giving up energy to sidewall flex is just dumb.
But yeah, it rode like a buckboard.
