Pretty in Pink
 
I love having the kind of wife who thinks a pink bike for our anniversary is a GREAT gift. It's also sort of fitting since I brought the Marnati home on our honeymoon (and she picked the colors). I won't be showing before shots since many here would be offended that I powder coated such a clean frame. The powder coat was done by Bone Head Performance in the Philly burbs. Not cheap (especially with the sparkly clear coat), but they did GREAT work! It really pops in the sunlight, though it doesn't photo as well. First person to guess what it is (who doesn't know) wins a free worthless gift of my choosing!

Her next b-day gift is a custom Jen Green headbadge.

Panasonic DX2000?

otg 11-01-12 03:55 PM

Looks like about an 85 or so Schwinn Prelude. Whatever it is, it sure is clean! Nice job.

KonAaron Snake 11-01-12 03:56 PM

Great guesses, but not quite.

cb400bill 11-01-12 03:57 PM

How about a Team Europe?

RubberLegs 11-01-12 04:00 PM

Greatly resembles my Bridgestone 550, but the bits on it are different. Mine came hot metallic pink!

KonAaron Snake 11-01-12 04:13 PM

MOST of the bits are, I believe, original. Obviously the seatpost, dual pivots, lights, saddle, pedals and rack are not.

One of the guesses is extremely close. Like shooting E5 when the Battle Ship's aft is on E6.

due ruote 11-01-12 04:17 PM

I'm not going to guess because I think I remember this from another thread. If I'm not mistaken, the bike originally had some pink accents(?) Or I could be confused about the year. Or just generally confused.

KonAaron Snake 11-01-12 04:19 PM

I don't remember it having any pink accents...but I could be mistaken. I also don't remember mentioning it on other threads - but honor system for not checking.

cyclotoine 11-01-12 04:24 PM

Miyata?

Bianchigirll 11-01-12 04:25 PM

It must be a Masi or DeRosa. Great looking color though


atleast it isn't the Palo Alto

KonAaron Snake 11-01-12 04:35 PM

LOL @ Masi or De Rosa with fender eyelets and biopace ;)

The Palo Alto is a bit of a back burner project right now...my bike funds are depleted, so I'm really just waiting for the right donor bike to fall to me...or the right piece by piece bits.

The Hello Kitty bidons are icing on the pink cake.

fietsbob 11-01-12 04:58 PM

Just sayin.

gomango 11-01-12 05:01 PM

That is a great build Aaron.

Congrats on the anniversary.

I have no idea what the bicycle is though. :)

ThermionicScott 11-01-12 05:07 PM

Looks a lot like my Bianchi Eros, save for the fork and dropouts. And derailleur cable routing. It's still Japanese, right? ;)

rccardr 11-01-12 05:31 PM
