Where's the rest of it??? Are there more pictures that my computer isn't showing for some reason, or are you just teasing us? I always love looking at you guys' high end bikes.

(Unless this is a "Guess the DeRosa" game, in which case I'm just not nearly qualified enough to play [yet])

I spy Chorus 10 speed. That's always a plus. (And I'm not saying that just because...)

You can get your fat gut down on a 66 Cinelli bar? Have you been doing yoga?

Aha, that's my problem. I have one of those bars, and lately, my gut has been hitting my thighs (or vice versa). D'oh!
