I had posted some abstract pics of this bike before, but I felt the pressure to include the 'Garage Door' shot.

Hi, you're right in that I'm Finnish but I nevertheless ordered the bottle cages (VO Moderniste) and saddle (VO Model 6) from Velo Orange.

The chrome lugs look awesome, but it's a shame the seatpost tube lugs aren't chromed.
What is it running, looks like Campagnolo Chorus?
It puts my 1986 Raleigh Marathon, and 2002 Giant OCR to shame

The bike is completely new, the frame was built just a couple of months ago and the components are also unused. Unfortunately I'm not really skilled enough to do any nice restorations.
The components are mostly Centaur from 2006/2009. Record cranks and hubs, Chorus BB. 3T stem and bars.

Where did you find a Principia? I've only seen one other in the US, and that's my teammate who used to live in Denmark.
I like their bikes, if only for the rarity factor.
And only two of your pictures showed up, for some reason.

You might try chainreactioncycles.co.uk. They sell Principias and have some nice prices on past years' models.

yeah, i dont understand why the other pictures did not show up, i could not figure it out. but i actually got the bike right here in iowa. i walked into my bike shop, and it was just sitting there, so i decided i needed a new bike. i guess principia attempted to sell them in the usa, so a few select shops received some. i just happend to be in the right place at the right time.

That's cool.
Try hosting them on photobucket instead of linking to facebook.

Foo,
Not all of your picks came through. But it looks like a great set up. Love the OP/CKs they are the most bombproof wheelset on the road.
