It's a 54cm.... perfect for me.

I was out for a long ride again today, loving it.

I gave my old Pinarello Treviso (52cm) to my wife when she asked about getting a road bike to replace her old beach cruiser. That gave me the excuse to build this one. I've never ridden a "modern" bike; this is the bike I could nowhere near afford 25 years ago (and it was so much cheaper now).

I showed the bike at my LBS; the owner was quite enthusiastic, being an old-school racer... All excited, he said, "We sell new Pinarellos; take this one out for a ride!" I declined, he insisted. I declined again and he asked, surprised, "Why not?!!" I said, "Because I'll buy it!" At this moment in time, I don't want to ride any other bike that might risk giving me more satisfaction than this one.

I still have to post up some detail pics.
