Bianchi Pista (2007) and Veloce (2002) I love Bianchi steel frame bikes. So sad they are dropping several steel models from their 2008 lineup...

Hmmm. Several to contribute, I guess, though only one of them is a true roadie, in the sense of this forum, so I'll start with that:
Gazelle Trim Trophy (one below the Champion Mondiale that's elsewhere in this thread). Now wearing Campy Chorus Look compatible pedals.
Raleigh Gran Sport, outfitted with lots of non-standard things. Love it!
EG Bates Track bike
Nigel Dean fixed gear.
Unknown brand single speed in chrome
And my tourer - a Raleigh Royal. I'm sure I'm forgetting some though...

chzman, my buddy has one of those Viners in red, I gave it a testing out and it was a pretty sweet ride. Those carbon seat stays can't be any larger in diameter than a pencil and I would sure hate to lay it down on those things.

Here is my competed bike. The bar tape is going to be replaced with the matching Brooks tape later this week.

my (new) steel Ciocc COM 12.5:
just got it a few weeks ago; it's not quite as clean anymore. rides like a dream!!
and it's WAY lighter than my '05 bianchi eros.

OK, another Surly Cross-Check -- one that won't blind you with its color scheme. Pretty much stock right now, including the saddle.

A Columbus SLX frame (despite what the frame decal suggests) built by Mc Bain in Tasmania. This early SLX frameset had plastic inserts in the fork crown - now plugged with brass nameplates. Nuovo Record Gruppo with the porta catina chain derailling system and a Super Record seat pin.
