Fantastic! Superbe Pro is great stuff, and that paint lets no one forget that it's a late 80s bike.

Would love a good close-up pic of that fork crown engraving...not sure I've noticed that on other Cyclops bikes.

You must be a powerful rider to make use of SP tubes in the mix on a smallish bike, eh? SP Downtube?

I have an all-SP Marinoni, which is great, but it's a 62cm frame (I'm just under 6'3" and a bit north of 250).

I'm still looking, myself - looks at one a little while back, a total steal at $300 complete with newer parts, but too small for me at 57cm square. As it was the original owner selling, and it didn't really fit (I tried!), I figured I'd leave it in hopes someone would appreciate the deal and give it some love. Despite the fact that I could've used the 7700 brifters and calipers, at least. Someone less inclined to generosity of spirit picked the thing up and immediately listed it for $900 on CL. Oh well...
