Please forgive my sporadic posting, I would like to wish everyone a fabulous new year, full of riding and fettling...

I didn't make it to italy but have a roll over entry for 2024, and possibly a group of 10 going, although it's a varied group so may just get together for the riding.
My knee has had a trim and oil change and is getting better almost every day - long may it continue in the right direction.
The frame featured in this thread did the 135km with it's rider and didn't put a foot wrong, not even a puncture. A few people looked at it but nobody could narrow down the builder. I'd still love to know despite it not being mine any more.

Take care all, have a great '24
Milo

Good to read a post from you. Being on the mend is good.
May 2024 be a year of good progress.
I have been able to ride the last week, I have two routes home, one a 14%+ grade the other nearly 3X as long and 6% with some false flat terrain, that is the way too eek some extra miles in.
The Goal is much higher mileage this year.
Speed? Was reminded yesterday not yet, a guy on a Carbon wonderbike reminded me of that.

Thank you Milo, and the same to you and your loved ones! Happy to read you're doing well.

When you say "Italy" you mean L'Eroica? Mrs non-fixie and I managed to get tickets, so we '23 ended on a high note. Would be nice to meet again!

I just can't wait for warm weather again

Many Thanks..... Best, Ben

Happy New Year!
