It's very confidence inspiring at high speed and in tight maneuvers. I've ridden a tour on it and taken it on century rides.

Here it is with the Campagnolo equipment I built it with first. This is its second paint job. I have no pictures of it with the original paint.



Here it is as it is now. It's not as pretty, but it's a bit nicer to ride.
