My winter commuter is a 58cm Bianchi San Jose single speed. It's categorized as a cyclocross bike but mine is set up with full fenders and some lights.
The stock gearing is 42 x 16 which makes it a little challenging at times around Seattle. For my (very short) commute I want to try a larger gear so that I don't sweat while climbing the hill back home. So I put a 17 tooth freewheel on it to see if climbing is noticeably easier.
I've searched all over the web for a stock photo that shows the 2007 in the "Washed-up Blue" color that I have but no luck. So here's a stock photo of it in green.
Here's a stock photo of the 2006 in Washed-up blue. I think the major difference between 06 and 07 was a change to the wheelset. The 07 comes with a flip flop rear hub. If you look close at the photos you can kinda see the difference.

Steve, where am I going to find a Washed up Blue Bianchi San Jose (61 cm)? It's been three years since they made it in that color and I am obsessed with the bike. It is so cool. Reminds me of the bicycle in the classic old movie "The Bicycle Thief". I want to buy one, bad.
