Fantastic ride this morning, with mild temperatures and a tail wind. I rode my Italian -- the De Bernardi -- for the first time in more than a year, and realized once again what a nice riding bike it is. I rode this bike when I first started commuting for more than two years, but seldom ride it any more because it doesn't have room for fenders or larger tires. The fenders are an issue when rain is a threat, but it honestly doesn't need larger tires. It rides as nice with 23 mm tires as my other bikes with 28s and 32s -- and it's much faster. My commute time this morning was the fastest in a very long time. I deliberately rode the De Bernardi because I've been considering swapping the parts to another bike and selling the frame, but today's ride is giving me second thoughts.
