Thanks for all the replies and the kind comments!

Cool, I thought it was C-Record stuff, just wanted to check. Hmm, the RD is later? From what I was told it was purchased from a shop all set up with nothing changed. Then again, maybe he had a RD problem and changed it? I really don't care though (not going to track down a different/proper RD or anything) just wanted to know, since you can't own something so nice and not know anything about it, right?

Phew, best of luck finding a 62cm. Italians (like me) are much more modest sized Mine is a 53, just about square. The top tube might be a 53.5 or so. It fits me wonderfully.

It is stressful! I am MUCH more carefully riding it around than my 1998 Cannondale. I watch more closely for debris when cornering and I trust drivers not to do crazy things even less. I feel kind of bad not riding it more, but I just can't ride it daily. Too nice and too hard to replace parts (or expensive) if I were to put in 40 miles a day on it.

Thanks for the clarification, TT. I really like the fuzzy polka dot paint on the Nobilette. Very nice. I can handle having a classic Tommasini

The MS tubing is pretty crazy and really gives a fantastic ride. The sizing and feel and comfort of this bike has actually driven me to pick up another newer bike way before I thought I'd be buying again. The Diamante feels so great to ride that I can no longer stomach the feel of my Al Cannondale (and it has always been a bit long in the TT at 54.5). Two bikes in one calendar year? This hobby is teetering towards an obsession! But hey, why waste time riding a bicycle that you don't love and that doesn't feel perfect, right? I don't waste money on wine, good or bad, so I might as well spend it on a new bicycle.

TGIF to everyone and thank you for all the nice replies. I think I'll be taking this out this afternoon for a leisurely, fun ride with my girlfriend. Haven't had it out in a week or two. Nothing like starting the weekend by riding with two nice beauties

Enjoy your weekends!
