Isn't that what you thought I was talking about?

I admire your wanton ways 
You make me regret sending away my Blue Goose, also a 20 something ride with blue frame, yellow tape, and chrome fork.

I only ride it on dry roads, which meant it hasn't been out of the garage since October (!).
I did about 35 miles on it yesterday (when the photo was taken), and another 60 miles today..it's the longest ride I've had it on.

I've had this bike for two years now, and put it together bit-by-bit until I considered it "done" last year. It's been posted here before.

You're killing me. I have a weakness for a certain French mistress but I can't get a handle on her.

My Italian bike, which is also the newest of my four road bikes, turns 28 this year, and it is still a delight to ride.
