It's not my best riding bike, but I love it for a whole lot of reasons, including...
  • It's drop dead gorgeous
  • It makes me smile every time I look at it
  • I love the orange paint with white panels and chrome (repaint by Jeffrey Bock)
  • Wickedly long tangs inside the fork
  • Metric-sized Columbus tubing with French decals
  • Very cool decals listing races that were won by Stella-sponsored riders (possibly all by Louison Bobet), including the 50th Tour de France
  • Excellent Comp Triple components with second generation Ergo shifters
  • Nutted Potenza brakes!
  • Cool custom (semi-repro) head badge made by [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION]








Is this the bike I saw at Eroica California in about 2016? I think we met, I had just put together an old Stella that was given to me. Joe
