Moving to Canada next month, and have decided I'm only taking 1 bike to use as a commuter/all purpose bike, which one would you take:

2010 Bianchi Via Nirone with Shimano 105.
2009 Specialised Rockhopper Disc

I'm leaning towards rockhopper...

Do they have Bianchi in Canada? If not, is someone likely to buy it for a ridiculous sum?

I'd lean the other way TBH, for commuting, you could always get an MTB when your there when you know what's on your doorstep and what style of riding you'll be doing.

Fair enough, i was just wandering really! I personally would take both, they are both lovely bikes in my opinion and i can guarantee that if you let one of them go then you will just regret it.
Take them both.

I'm not really an avid cyclist, I got them on the ride2work scheme but it'd be nice to get into it properly.

The Bianchi is beautiful though, really lovely looking bike:

Well you'll certainly have plenty of options to make the best use of both bikes.
