Hello Bob,

I'm not sure if you were still active when I joined a few years ago, but beside your new Cinelli being gorgeous, I immediately noticed your weather and some familiar looking weeds along the canal banks... Always nice to see someone else down here in the valley with some good C&V appreciation. Cheers from Visalia, and happy holidays!

It's lovely Bob.

What I would do is organize a ride in NoCa to show it off a bit, Say October 2021.

Just sayin.

Bikes: Indeed!

Bob, that bike came together beautifully! I'm envious.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to commit the sacrilege of installing clipless pedals and a gps mount on an otherwise vintage bike.

I like that idea. Things should be quasi-normalish by then. I'm still newish to the area, and would need input on best rides/locations. But, we'll all be ready for something by then, for certain....

yes, measured CTC. The top tube is around 58.5. TT measurement is most important to me, but this is as tall as i like.

yeah, I thought about a ride and shoot with quill pedals, but life is short and i wanted a good ride. I'll do so at some point. Let me when you want to meet up for a weekend ride; I'll need your help/advice to organize a bigger ride, Brent!
