....it did get a "hot" in the commuter hot or not thread. I have no illusions, however.
It was converted using parts I had on hand. Built to run in to work on the train and ride the 16 miles home in the evening.

Kinda hard to follow Herbie's Guru, but it is hot for a folder!

Hey guys,
This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a while. My name is Thomas, and I recently graduated from UBC and UGR, now I work for Microsoft in Boulder, CO.
Without further ado, my Bianchi Eros road bike. It's a replacement for a Cannondale Synapse with 10s 105 components that got stolen while I was in school.

She's a dream to ride, and I love her. You guys may not, haha.
I did have the frame powder coated and got new decals for it.

That's the best Bianchi that I've seen in a while. Much better looking than their new product....
