What bar tape is that? Is it the Mike Giant graphic tape from Cinelli?

Sorry, not for me. Those bars are not attractive and I dont care for the geometry of the frame.

cannondale125 11-30-13 12:34 AM

Ya I dont care for frame much myself, but it rides great and I have a Cannondale Six13 on the way. Thanks

Hope to see a picture of it

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.

Hottest steel I've seen, but my taste has moved on. I had steel bikes back in the late 80's / early 90's, they never looked as good as this one in real life, but I like to remember them this way.

Mavic Exalith. They are pretty light for clinchers (1400g), stiff, and bullet proof. Great for all weather riding/racing and I am not sure they don't make up for their complete non-aeroness with the way they accelerate.

Definitely HOT. Exactly how a bike is supposed to be...stealthy and fast looking...Can't tell if the gold chain is trying to match the cabling or what, but I would've left the chain silver or black. Most minor of quibbles since you'll replace the chain eventually anyhow. What did this frameset weigh in at?

It's actually silver. Something screwball with the lighting (early morning sun) and the photo I guess. I thought about black, but the silver one was on sale... pretty silly thinking about saving $20 after everything else, but I am mostly Dutch.

My madone 6.7ssl. Would like to drop the rims asap, and grab some better looking cages

PS - weight of the bike x bottle cages was 14.2 lbs. Did not weigh the frame, but I think it must be under 1000g for the bike to be that.

Totally agree!

That's a very nice weight! I can't wait to upgrade from my supersix to a frame that is lighter. An evo has been on my radar for a while but I now have a couple others in mind and now the guru could be put on my list as well. I may PM you for further details.

Hi,

How's everyone been? :)

I haven't even been lurking on this thread as I've had to parse my online time between more and more sites and topics. I recently had to hunker down and put together a bike that I'd been promising to assemble for almost a year. I'm the original owner of the frame and the parts were mostly on my TT bikes of years past.

1990 Stowe Triad with 2005 Campagnolo Chorus-10 components:

Steel is real:

Paint is original and headset, stem, and bars are from the original build. Rest of it is a mash of "modern" and vintage stuff.

BTW, I am not typically a fan of Guru bikes but [MENTION=147472]Herbie53[/MENTION] Guru is HOT.

Smokin' Hot!

I am a fan of the mish-mash of old and new. Hot!

Both the Feather and Guru are ridiculously hot. The Feather is one of the sweetest steelies I've ever seen. That Guru may just be the "perfect" bike. Alas, after seeing those two beauties, I'm going home to euthanize my bikes and start over.

Hot bike. Would be hotter without the frame pump and with a larger setback seat post though.
