Yes Tom, I made my peace about this a long time ago.
Nope, just Tom being a gentleman.
Now y'all know why I don't care to post my mug at any time or place.

That is a 1986 Tommasini Prestige, my last build project to date. Great riding bike, very precise and taught feeling.

I don't have many pics of me with/on the bike...I've got these two from nearly 2 yrs ago with the Hardrock, a pic of me & my son (Ry) taking a break on the playground from riding, and a FB profile pic since the others aren't that great lol. I should get Ry to snap some pics next time...Of course I have tons of him riding though!
ETA - Wow...BF didn't resize them this time! Sorry!

Post ride on the Panasonic, as a storm rolled in off the gulf a week or so ago. The levee trail is behind me on the gentle rise.

Why, sometimes in the middle of the day it feels positively cramped.

Nice bikes Ron, you should post another pic with that Competition GS in front for gawking purposes. Not sure, but the Vitus' gearing looks like a straight block, is she handling those big gears alright? I have no idea if your area is flat or hilly, so please excuse the question. @Drillium Dude is a hard core straight block rider, I don't see how he rides them in the PNW. I prefer them, but its fairly flat here on the Central Gulf Coast, save some rollers and a few stream cut downs that made for a little topography here.

I got the bare frame in about 1985 from a friend. Rebuilt it about 4 years ago with all Suntour Superbe, close to period correct. Anyone wanna trade a decent 27.2 Superbe seatpost for my Dura Ace? (even up).
And yes, my tire sock is held on by a piece of rope. I forgot to bring the toe clip strap I usually use. Really.
My solution to hold on the bar mounted bottle cage. I turned that little bar and let the natural spring tension do the rest.
No gripes about dirt please!

I'd gawk at most any Roadie, its a defect I carry around proudly. Straight block woman, and not a whiner, wow hang on toe her.
BTW, Monica and I went to school and church with a girl with the same nickname.

My son sees me getting ready for a road ride, wearing my yellow hi-viz jersey. He says "You look like a highlighter with a gut."
Shelley (Booty) pops out from behind me in her orange hi-viz. She says "And I'm a highlighter with a butt!"
Gotta love a woman with a sense of humor.
(actually neither my gut nor her butt are that big).
