It gets dirty, but if you check out the "Where does your bike sleep?" thread on C&V, you'll see that I need to clean it up before I hang it up, or I'll get pretty dirty doing it....

Can't wait to see yours, and hope you got your stem stuff worked out. Mine appear to all be 26.0, though I think that one you sent me has been polished to a 25.something. I'm saving the 66-38 for my son's Bianchi.

He's a big UNC fan, so after it gets blasted and painted Carolina blue and white, I told him he should find Dante Calabria, last "Italian" player for UNC, and we'll get it autographed......

I think the inconsistencies help support Italian manufacture. They crafted, they argued, they crafted, they argued. At least that was consistent!

I'm definitely coming to NJ for that Equipe ride, just waiting on the whether and the weather.

Ciao....
