                  Custom                                                                                      2,000.00
                  Decal                                                                                         1,500.00
                  Base paint                                                                                     700.00

                   Total cost                                                                                14,600.00

                    Say                                                                                         15,000.00

Puwede na?

                                          Now available at its distributors,  only P200k ++ each !



Bianchi Jumbo Lotto only 3/10


The Jumbo Lotto team was rated only 3/10, a little bit of disappointment (based on team performance) but despite this, the bike evokes so much love and admiration from fans. It is a very popular brand. And many bike lovers I know would like to have a Bianchi XR4 Oltre.   One kapadyak who owns two Italian steeds has just bought a Bianchi Oltre XR4 frame.  Wow.

(My Bianchi is a Jumbo Oltre XR4 edition.  Little bit paler Celeste Green, and with Jumbo Lotto decals)

At the tambayan in Wawa, I get known as the biker with the Bianchi.
