The Dama Bianca Sora has the Shimano Sora groupset with FSA Vero compact with a 9 speed rear and a white/black/pink paintwork. The 105 runs on Maddux RX5.1 in custom black wheelset, whereas the Sora has wheels built with Jalco DRX400 rims and Jagtech hubs.
Bianchi has produced two good bikes this year, but not a carbon offering for ladies. It would be good to see them come up with a carbon road bike to rival its competitors.
