Avenue

Discerning riders who prefer the smooth ride of steel, have made the Avenue one of our most popular Cross-Terrain® models. Updated for 2006 with 1 1/8" steering controls, SRAM's new 3.0 Plus shifting, wider hybrid gearing and a more comfortable saddle. A super upright riding position and easy controls make it the perfect bike for commuting around town or campus. All of the famous Bianchi ride quality is included in our entry level Avenue. Four sizes of diamond frame and two sizes of step-through means it fits almost everyone. Both frames available in either color.
