How about an urban stealth and aero frame......

Oh yea - cut the top off of the Porsche while you're at it. Rattle can it flat black with white accents.

Go right ahead. It's not a genuine Colnago anyway.

I have it on reliable source, that it's not even BBM's, he's only babysitting until a diminutive C&V member treks South.

I doubt he's given up, rather like a fine angler of the fly I suspect he is just observing the commotion on the surface of the water and is selecting his next fly out of the box to cast this way.

The jig, as they say, is up. As OFG has proclaimed, this little Italian pony belongs to EastHill. I was just the agent in this deal.

It was spotted on the Serotta forum by OFG, bargained for and closed on by EastHill, and received and delivered (eventually) by yours truly.

I hope not!

I've enjoyed everyone's suggestions, and unworthy1--the bars are yours!

Don't be too quick to give them away, as they may not survive removal. They are CF, and the bend is so tight I cannot get them out of the stem. Plus, they may be cracked.......

a dignified "burial at Sea" would be fitting: maybe some mud worm or hermit crab could make them a home...anything that keeps them off of a bike!

Nah, just fill the frame with BB's... Just think about the lower
center of gravity and reduced vibration.

Or, stick a springer on dat ting wif a set of ape hangers and
Stingray shifters, and den go cruzziinnnn. !

That frame was not built by Mario Confente. If he was still here, Mario would be laughing his a** off at all of you right now.



Joke. It's a joke based on a recent thread that spun into surreality.

That's right. It was built by Ugo De Rosa.

I will take that under consideration. Do you not like the current colour? I think the silver and pink is rather nice, but I would be open to suggestions.

Barend blinkies could be very useful!
