Showoff. 
Bike Snob has one; he calls it his "Eye of the Tiger" bike. I express my envy pretty much every time he shows it.
My dude, if I could find one of those in my size (17"-18")...
A reasonable tt length on 26" wheels is my dream; you can find it new, but only for $3,000+. Meanwhile, I can admire others'.

BRC RoadAce 505
Spotted today downtown near the UofW; BRC RoadAce. Nice that a hi-ten frame was graced with a rear derailleur hanger. The rear brake was an Altus, but the front was some POS steel replacement. The crank appears to bear a Maruishi Kangaroo logo.

Technically not “in the wild”, but I wasn’t inclined to give it it’s own thread. Spotted this Go Ped gas assist pod affixed to this clean looking DeBernardi while visiting the Petersen Automotive Museum over the weekend.
I wouldn’t recommend jumping into your local paceline with this thing on your bike.

Nishiki International by Shields
Shields up - Nishiki ahead! Spotted yesterday downtown. Glad that the rider decided to use a brake.
