Just bought this exact frameset in 54cm. Will put my Record 10-speed group on it. What do you think?

I like the invisible bike in the other thread better. ;)

But this one is cool too.

Honestly Paramount, I think the bike is pretty plain..I mean the silver is nice, but it looks like it's missing something, needs more color and stuff on it for me..But I do like it that you're putting Campy record 10 speed on it!! VERY GOOD MOVE!!

My friend is having his El Diente CTi front triangle painted, but leaving the stays bare. I go for the understated elegance.

I don't know, I think it has an understated elegance.

Last summer, when I was laboring up a hill after about 35miles, two young college girls passed me, one on a Mega-bucks Litespeed and the other on a custom Dean. Of the two, the Dean caught my eye as the better looking of the two.

..or maybe it was the girl on the Dean had better legs....Naw...it was the bike!
