I have a Casati Gold Line S.








Lots of details left to complete on her, but you'll get the general picture.

Picked it up at a garage sale of all things a year or two ago.

Handles well, and sports some of the nicer frame details you'd ever want to see.

I was tempted to have it painted pearl white, like their recent anniversary model, but I wasn't able to get the correct pearl finish on test strips.

It's all for the better, our oldest son has it set up for a 100 mile gravel road event/race coming up in southern Minnesota in the near future.

Sort of a Minnesota prairie meets L'Eroica affair.

The mind reals at this analogy, but many of my riding buddies did the spring event.

It's called the Almanzo 100.

My son stuffed the largest Paselas he could on the bike, and put on a Centaur track crank.

Yep, a hundo on a single speed Casati.

Should be a hoot.
