the evolution of vingtage
I guess I used the title to capture the attention. My title really is the evolution of steel and what it can be. Since I believe vintage=steel and this link shows what steel can be this link also = the evolution of vintage. Enjoy(I am drooling and lusting as I post)

I wonder if any of the 70 escaped from Waterford with a proper lugged fork. I might have to expand the Paramount Registry for these.

I am not really a fan of the fork but I'd still like it!!!

the fork is not with the scheme, and the seat stay upper ends are just plain weird.
All that critique, I am happy they did the experiment.
Maybe have Waterford make a fork with a Newvex stainless crown?

it's a bit of a miss due to the artistic lugs and very nice carbon fork. We built up a 2010 serotta colorado at the shop today and it was about 16.9 lbs without pedals.... a very respectable weight for a bike with sram force group ksyrium ES wheels. EA70 post, regular fizik arione, EC90 bars and EA90 stem... it sells for $6000 CND... TIG steel (custom drawn columbus spirit) and a matching serotta carbon fork... it's a beautiful machine.

...Only tech geeks of which I was one cared. I was the only owner of a Campagnolo equipped bike sold from our shop in the 10 years I was there (Colnago/C-Record) and can recall only two other racers with Campagnolo from our pack of local weekly racers. (one old super record and one Croce. Being in WI, there were a lot of DuraAce Paramounts!)
