...just finished this up and test rode it for an hour or so. Note the subtly timtak'd stem.
With a steel steerer, I laugh at the skinnies.

That's a nice bike, @3alarmer. The handlebar angle seems odd.

Trying to fight off a cold, but I think today's short ride helped a little. Increase in heart rate and breathing usually helps me clear nasal congestion.
SAT test today, I only needed to guess on one of the math questions. Which is pretty good, hoping for 750/800.

I could not pass on that stem, though. A Cinelli in the 22.0 required for these stooopid French steerer diameters does not come along all that often.

I can't remember whether I still had the Dunelt 3 speed or had by then graduated to an Aztec lugged UO-8.

Yes I did...In that color scheme and everything. I miss that bike, but it's probably just because of the time of life that it represents.

The Alize©® may ride like a truck, but it's comfy enough to crack off a 200K.

...yeah. I think it's a combination of the timtak'd stem, which has about an inch more reach than I usually ride (in combination with this top tube length), and some camera distortion from the angle I took that shot. Kinda the same thing that makes all those forks look bent. I might drop the tops a little, to further emulate @timtak and Lance. I am pretty stretched at this point if I want to ride the hoods. I could not pass on that stem, though. A Cinelli in the 22.0 required for these stooopid French steerer diameters does not come along all that often.

That moto reminded me of the red black and gold mixte Moto we got in the shop once. So hot!
Loved the DA cranks with the guard and the sweet old Shimano BMX pedals!

Lazy Sunday morning. Rain rolling through. Going to the gym later, then on with the day.

So long and thanks for all the cf?
I ask because I don't know - doesn't it always do that if it's an attachment? If you use the hot-linked IMG tags it should show properly in quoted posts, at least for externally-stored images.

Maybe something from the second book:
FORD:
I mean it’s so black! You can hardly even make out its shape. Light just falls into it.
ZAPHOD:
And feel this surface.
FORD:
Yeah! … Hey, hey you can’t!
ZAPHOD:
See? It’s totally frictionless. Oh this must be one mother of a mover. I bet even the cigar lighter’s on photon drive, well whadda ya reckon Ford?
