Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm hamstrung by silver... and a Thomson didn't look right. I can't explain why. I know that Deda made a silver stem a while back, but I had to go with what i had. Bars and seatpost are Ritchey, also...

What's wrong with a Ritchey stem? And that one is made for classic bikes. It's apart of Ritchey's new Classic Series.

I no longer own this one (tragic loss), and it's certainly not like some other bikes here. But any attractiveness?

It had Mavic Ksyriums btw. Not the Ovals.

She sure is zesty and sexy to me.

P.S. How do I make that image larger in the text? It is a larger image.

I like the frame. Not sure about the saddle slide or the blue Mavic stickers (x12)?

No, only due to the gumwall tires. The rest of both bikes is hot.

Both are very pretty. I like the gumwalls. The massive HED stickers are a detractor.

I'm ambivalent about the gumwalls mostly although I think I would prefer them slightly more with black tires (or maybe a color that accents the frame). Still hot to me though.

Thank you for your kind words. You are 100% right, gotta fix both tires and get them perfectly centered with the stem or the campagnolo sticker...whichever ends up looking nicer.
