Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

this is one very very smooth bike to ride. Sadly in the last few years a lot of the paint work is starting to chip off on or around the logos.
My oh my, that is a beautiful bike. Thanks for the pic.

Fantastic pictures!

Rad, that is so Lovely - just stunning. so dramatic with the black background!

Please consider a thread where you provide a basic tutorial of your photography-technique.
It would be so much appreciated.

I have a Basso Loto 58cm which I will replace with a new, but used, frame this week. When its stripped & ready I will post some pictures - please do not expect anything as professional as Rad's pictures.

Lovely thread!

cheers

I understand neither the obsession with Italian nor the obsession with steel...nor the obsession with vintage.

It's like soul . . . you either feel it, or you don't.

Some prefer a 1964 Porsche 356 Turbo to a 2009 Porsche 911. But give me the 64' any day of the week. Like other's said... it's about "soul".

Since I'm unaware of an "Italian Titanium" thread, I'll toss my pics in here too.

SushiJoe, nice bike! How would you compare its ride quality to other high end bikes that you've ridden?

Equal to, easily. It's really a fantastic bike! I'm selling it now only because I need to get down to two bikes and it's unfortunately 3rd on my totem pole.
