I am neither old nor in skinny jeans and I ride soma hwy 1s. Instead of using them to raise my drops, I used them to get my hoods lower without making my drops lower.

Are you still in love with the Hwy 1s on your Colnago?

They sure look sweet on the bicycle.

Nah, he's got gears and brakes.

Love is a strong word, but I do like them. If deda sold a 215 with a compact drop, that would be love.

There are bars worth loving. A couple in New Orleans come to mind...

:)

From one extreme to the other! Can't I just be a normal dude? :)

Recently finished road rider, still with DT shifters. DA 9 speed. Rides like a dream

^Blue Merckx doesn't have STI/Ergo shifters, why post here?

New member, updated bike. Rides like a dream. No biggie.
He may have felt it was more appropriate here than in the Classic Rigs thread.

Nice bike, welcome to the forum.

Beauty! Stellar job with the build, first post too-- way to come out of the gate strong.

A steel Colnago (chromed no less!) that manages to land on the better end of the 'all-business' <--> 'garrish flamboyance' spectrum, impressive. ;)

Very nice ride! And welcome to the forum!

Very nice Merckx and an echo welcome to the forum.
That's a Century, right? Not the original fork, as I recall they came with a flat crown fork. But nice, and the original Cobalto color with a white panel.
I have a Century being painted in that color by Al Wanta right now and am looking forward to riding it!

okeydokey, just sayin'

Correct on the fork and Century. The original is a flat crown, Cobalto with crome dropouts. I have it but put it on the shelf, in favor of the carbon which has a little less rake and is a little stiffer. Suits the sort of riding I do a little better. Less rake especially.

Finished this up for the girlfriend recently.

aww, that head tube is so cute.

^What a nice land-shark! I love it! You did a good thing for your sweetie...

I finished this build up yesterday morning just in time for a windy ride in the Texas Hill Country. The frame is a 1981 Eddy Merckx Professional (based on serial number) with the cable guides on top of the bottom bracket. The group is Campagnolo Chorus 10 Speed with Racing T triple crankset and Monoplanar Chorus brakes.

A girl named Eddy? ;)

She's a beauty.

Heck yeah man, her cousin is a boy named Sue. Thanks!

thought i would post mine, just finished the build today. Went for its maiden ride today and aside some fine tuning I am really pleased with how it turned out. Veloce group, except for front derailleur(centaur).

Very sensible and attractive. What brake calipers are you using?
