That's one nice looking bike. I initially read the thread title as 'Aluminium bike from 1986", and was wondering what was so cool about that. 1896 is much cooler.
I really do like the different handlebar styles that some of the real old bikes have. I know that 'standard' road drops are probably the most efficient/comfortable (certainly for me), but some of the short-lived handlebars had style.
I'd love to someday get my hands on a set of Lauterwasser 'drops'.
