When it rains, it pours.
Always loved that Cinelli red.
At first, I believed it was a repaint. Now I am not so certain. I think I still prefer the blue. If I could just grow it a little.

Interesting handlebar bag- what is it, and what is the support bracket?
I bought the set used, but I think it was a Rivendell bag and it is a Nitto F-15 bag support. I like it quite a bit. I never put anything heavy in it to affect the steering, but the volume is quite large. The rear bag is superfluous, and will be removed.

a Sinplex 22d… that is a long reach down, start stretching now.
the pale yellow bike could do with a revised downtube graphics location. Decisions were made. Possible clear coat trapped.
The decals are on the paint. I can peel it off if I want. I've debated ordering a replacement, but I just haven't cared enough to think that is worth the $40+shipping to me. I'm not as attached to that bike, even though it is generally the more desirable option. If I like the red B as much as I hope I will, then I may part with the SC. I'll give myself a year or two to decide on that.
As for the reach, I have unusually long arms and a longer than average torso. I'm not at an age where I mind reaching down, and it makes the ride a bit more interesting, as well as a fun conversation topic with curious strangers. .
