I used to ride regularly, ....now I merely have fancy, period correct posessions on display.




FINE! ...Imma gonna go Ride!

OK, the sew-up equipped Lobster...no, maybe the Super Record Colnago Super?
..Oh,.. I should throw some pedals on the single speed Merlin & ride that.
Actually, the ol' Cannonball hasn't been fired up lately.
No, more retro, ...how about the Interclub?
Hmmm, nothing says "zippy" like the Hurricane though!
Or the Ferrari? Haven't driven that one in ages!
Right, I got the new tire for the Tour Easy. Whip that on, and I can tast ride the new "meat"!

Wooops, times up! ..No ride today.

But if I find some more time...I'll have somethin' to RIDE!

AND ABOUT THAT PURPLE BIKE!

I LIKE IT!

My top 3 list...

1) The front wheel should match that ultra cool rear wheel! Yes, I LIKE that deep V rim look on that bike!
The whitewall look goes with the purple IMHO.

2) With the bars set like that, I would use a much shorter reach (and possibly higher reach) stem.
If you flip the bars, you could probably stick with the stem you got.

3) Add a Campy front brake caliper and a Paul Love Lever on the right handlebar.
Good brakes are never a bad thing!
My single speed Merlin has that. It looks retro and works awesome(ly).

4) Post more pics when the details are done!
