With Google translate the prose is mesmerising. Probably would benefit from Little Fluffy Clouds as background music.

"Now, back to our story. By the frame is softened, and Fumikomeru easily than before the heavy gear to look like (Fumikireru), (about 5 turns) cadence in the plains has been increased slightly. And, it is that the average speed that up what you say. You think so, and in the good climbing also increase the cadence, I tried turning around a 60 rotation this time, and the had been turning around a 50 rotation until the last time. But the result only 6 seconds behind .... By the frame is softened, when depressed, so shake with a slight load, and than good to A fast timing depresses it? It was thought that, but on second thought, there was a tenacity to frame the past, but also depressed by strong load the pedal, and endure to the position to drain the power frame is be patient, the moment it comes out the power , and has had to come back as "Ban~tsu!", in the "frame soft ultimate" after the treatment, the frame without patience, the moment I shake as far as it will shake, it was missing the power, so come back slowly , Lower the cadence dare, it might be good to select the gear that mix-and-match around the 45 rpm in more slowly than before. If you think about it now, Cadence is turned down every time you sharpen this Unit 7. Moreover, time better each time, I was reminded that the body has also become easier. This is the hint you got to the end of the race after the "Akagi" this time. The feeling that it is not fired up by powerful as ever, relaxed, depression of the loose, you might hang Kore ride this "ultimate mahogany bike"."

Sorry for the pic quality. Hopefully the 'beauty' part is evident.

With black wheels/tape it would be awesome, now it's just too much. And for the love of Mario those FSA stems need to burn.

I'm fairly certain the (Dublin) shop selling them would swap out components for you. Of course then your bike would not be a Vacansoleil Bianchi.
