lol, it's my friggen' rain bike. Those first two Colnagos on that page are works of pure art as well. Very well all of you. Did I just say a bike painted entirely of pastels was nice? I think I may be going soft, but really that page was full of win. Okay I am done cheer-leading now.

That is indeed awesome, Scooper. Beautiful bike, Cassave! I've got very limited experience with framebuilding, but I do appreciate how much hand work goes into a nice, handbuilt lugged frame. My business partner here at our bike shop had done some brazing in another industry, and we both wanted to try framebuilding, at least for the fun of it. He's now built a couple of frames/forks, including one that came out particularly well, a fixed gear bike meant to be ridden on the road. He loves it. I've got a bunch of tubes, lugs, etc etc in about a half-done state, whether I ever complete it remains to be seen. Maybe this winter. Maybe.

I am considering updating my Panosonic 68 CM Steel Frame With all new Wheels,Brakes,Bars,Cranks,Gears, Forks Etc Etc, as the frame fits me very well as i am 6'8 and the largest size mass produced frame seems to be a 64 CM which is a little small.

Help!!! I am not afraid of Good Used pArts either.

That Trek is a beautiful platform for that group.

Puts the "NASCAR" billboard Treks in their place...behind you.

Thanks, it's been fun working on this bike over the years. Just added NOS Ultegra 6510 STI, performance is excellent.

I love this. However, I think the seatpost (even with the awesome accents) looks out of place since there is virtually no silver on this bike. What say you to a Thomson? That would multiply the sex factor by about 6.

I've been looking for this model/vintage of trek since these will take 28s and fenders. Tough to find in a 50cm though!

Lovely bike, can you tell me what diameter the seat tube is? I have been trying to ID a Bianchi that looks very similar to yours for a while now, but without the chrome.
