The 90s called and want their parts back. And you vastly overdid the celeste color scheme. Put normal hoods and tires on and you'll be doing much better.

Also, for your next photo, it would be great if you put it in the big ring and bothered to clean your saddle and tape for the photo.

Send me a check for $2500USD and I will be more than happy to oblige your aesthetic sensibilities by putting on a full Campy Record gruppo.

Really?

So I should choose having my bike look like a racer over correct fit? :twitchy:

Interesting POV. :rolleyes:

You got me stud. :rolleyes:

I'm just an old guy piling on the miles on my "comfort" bike. The over 800 miles I've put on my comfort bike since I picked it up August 2 (of this year) have been sweet indeed.

Dirņ Edoardo che siete il nuovo padrone di stile del Bianchi. :lol:

I don't care if your bike is hot or not, but you seem to have a problem with what people think :)

I read that as "Fred" the first time.
