Thanks for all the kind words!

I am 6'7", so this bike isn't a wall hanger....fits me perfect. I'd waited for a lonnng time for one this size to show up on Ebay....this one came from a seller in Chicago and he wouldn't ship it! I have a friend that happens to live a few blocks from where this one was .... so he told me to bid on it and he'd pick it up for me..... Well, it worked out perfectly as my friend is a "bike guy" and he carefully took it apart and packed it up nicely.....I held my breath as this thing made its way to me via UPS, but it arrived unscathed! I took it home, cleaned each part as I unwrapped it and carefully re-assembled it in my garage.

It had the original(I believe)tubular tires on it so I replaced them with those 3 for $50.00 Servizo Course tires that Yellow Jersey sells.....then I just got that Rally der. from Ebay and put it on Saturday.

Paid a little over $1500.00 for the bike, $50.00 for the tires and $80.00 for the Rally......actually my wife gave me the "go ahead" to get the bike for my birthday/fathers day/anniversary gift back in June of this year.....It is a joy to just walk by the bike every day in my garage, let alone actually ride the thing.....

Since I can post pics now, some better detailed ones will follow....

Eye candy is sweet, no?
