Thanks for the comments everyone! As for the top tube Zephyr, it definately gives me a little more standover room. Past that, I can't really say I've thought much about it. I really am enjoying this bike more than any other mountain bike I have ever had.
Derek, your biker gang is awesome.
Does anyone have experience with the Bianchi SISS and what a fair price is? A guy I ride with has one for sale, in great shape, and is waiting to see if I bite. He said it was Dedacciai 853 steel...what is that? My first thought is that it's Reynolds 853 and that Dedacciai is some sort of other steel used on the fork or something.
Take care,
Kevin

you dont even know.. the holdworth did fall off the railing.. stupidly i just had to catch it, which let it swing back into the deck.. so nnow its got a lil ding in the top to match the one it came with.. oddly i wasnt that upset.. its not my fancy bike
the worst part about it is its still a ****ty picture.. i could have just leaned it against a wall

The Tees is pretty sick. I really want to retrofit an old road frame with some of the Paul ends. How do you like the adjusters? Pretty easy to use?

There's something to be said for a nicely built set of Open Pros.

sloppy robot...your bikes are anything but sloppy. not many holdsworth owners would be so laid back about putting a dent in their top tube! what kinda frame is that first bike?
