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

I do not own a steel bike but I have to say that this is one terrific thread. Some of these bikes are among the most beautiful I have seen in my 5 or so years in here....kudos to all of you steel owners.

Cheers,

Brian

Thanks. It's an 85 and I had it since. I'll been thinking about putting the original c-record parts back on when I first built it for the real classic look.

Here is another pic.

Used to see a guy back in the late '80s/early '90s when I first got back into cycling had a Ciocc with a similar paint scheme, only it was pink and white. Thought it was one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen.

My Casati Laser at the end of the build day last year

some minor changes have been made since:
different tires - can't run anything bigger than a 20c (the mounted ones in pic were standard but jammed up against the seat tube on inflation)
seat post (got a newer Record Aero Campy)
oh, and the seat is actually mounted so my wife doesn't have to hold on to it anymore

I'll post some more up-close photos later
