Another MIELE UNO I repainted and built up with more modern components than it had. Most of the stuff I put on it was SORA.

I can't believe we don't have a blue thread already.
I think Trek nailed blues with this shade of dark blue.
Not ready for prime time yet, but Specialized had nice blues too.

Brand new Marinoni Retro Zona frame that I'm almost done building up with 9 speed Chorus. Went on a road trip to Montreal in December to pick it up, even got to meet Mr. Giuseppe Marinoni himself. I haven't taken a detailed shot of the fork crown, but I went with maple leaf pantos! Can't wait to get out on this thing! I'll post some better pictures when the weather clears a bit.

Just thought of this one too but it only has a little blue on it! I doubt there would be a "Show us your Spumoni bikes" thread!
