Thanks. I find myself wrenching more than riding and I've really come to appreciate the little details of C&V bikes.

Phone is an Android phone actually.

takes two to tango. if you saw the results of my lg phone's camera compared to these, you might know exactly what i mean. i love my phone, but there's no post prod bandaid to help its awful little camera. good thing i have my oly (slr).

the camera apps for iphone are badass. in the right hands, they rival slr results.

i'd love to know the phone used here...

Can we be neighbors, pleas -; because I greatly prefer riding over wrenching and could satisfy all your C&V wrenching desires.

There is no doubt that the little details in the "classics" made them unique from one anopther. In this day of cookie cutter aero style rigs (some do stand out still) you can appreciate the beauty in the older bikes. Its like a 50s merc, or any classic car for that matter. They are all unique in their own way.

Basically. I have to periodically sacrifice some animals to not get a bike with a stuck seatpost.
