This a frame and fork I built for myself from Columbus Zona .8.5.8 tubes, paragon drops and BB shell. I did an "embossed" style head badge, recessed routing under the BB shell and finished with Hawaiian blue powder.
73X73 X575 top tube
3T bars
Thomson layback post
Thomson 7X110 stem
Red shifting, cranks and brakes
Fulcrum wheels
Mavic tires
Rolls saddle
old shimano pedals.

My first new road bike since 1992 or so. I have had this bike for about a week and have ridden about 100 miles so far. My first ride was on a borrowed carbon fork, stem and pillar to get the fit sorted. I switched to the steel fork for a while and it is no trouble on the bad roads I ride on.
