Adding to Bianchi’s lone 29″er single speed, the Rita, it appears that Bianchi will be introducing this geared 29″er to the U.S. for 2008. This picture is from Bianchi’s roll out of 2008 product in Europe recently. This model, called the “Sok”, will be sporting a smattering of WTB parts, Avid hydraulic brakes, and SRAM shifters. Retail price is rumored to be somewhere just south of $1800.00.

We’ll look for more on this Bianchi, and other 29″er introductions at the upcoming Interbike trade show. Watch for complete coverage of that event coming your way here on Twenty Nine Inches.
