Had a minor change over the weekend, after I found a crack in my handlebars. Decided to go with a 3T Ergonova team bar. Then changed the wrap to Fizik and put a -17 degree 3T ARX Team stem.

Really really nice machine. Classic looks and beautifully restored, but I can't call it hot. I am too much of a fan of newer road bikes. However, this reminds me of my first road bike - which I loved and rode to death (literally - killed it in a crash).

Can I play? I built up a Nashbar AL/Carbon frame a few months back and have fallen in love with it. Shimano Ultegra has been a dream.
Since I got the bike I upgraded tubes and tires, handlebars, pedals, saddle, seatpost and I just received in the mail today Kinlin XR-200 rims and ultralight hubs from bikehubstore.com that will be built up and save quite a good amount of weight from my current Mavic Aksiums.
Started at 18.5lb, now around 17.4lb. New Wheelset should bring the complete bike with cages and computer to the 16 range. Thoughts?......

At first glance, I dismissed it as a "not". But after really looking, I like it.
My vote is "HOT"
Cool bike.

Thank you. The bottle cages are from Stradalli. Cages are around 18g each and come with water bottles.
