It's my quad lock cell phone holder --only the best cellphone holder ever.

Would've been hotter in gloss black IMO, but still pretty nice. :thumb: Details?

Thanks guys ... Its an *old* Bianchi, baught it used ( 1990 ) while in HS. All I remember is "its cro-mo" was mentioned way too many times...
Used to be 300ex DT shifter eqipped. At some point I was on the tri team so it had bright green profile aero bars on it, and a fast forward seatpost...
Little brother barrowed it, had it for a decade... when I got it it back, it had NO handlebars or front wheel...
I made it a rather scary looking ss, ( from *sweet* co-op parts ) while I hunted down some parts. ( pics on page 24 )Slowly upgarding the last 5 years ...

2012 Reynolds Assults on year end super blowout. ( I belive less then half price. )

Reposting with cut steerer, leveled seat, and new pedals. Forgive the bag...

I like it. I don't know if I would say it's "hot", there's nothing really outstanding about it -- but overall it looks like a well put-together, good, everyday bike. I like it.

I'm open to suggestions when it concerns tires. I had an antique brown Brooks Swift on it and I disliked the way it looked, so I put on the SSM Regal Ti. I like the MKS pedals for when I'm using non-cycling specific footwear.

I was mainly giving you a hard time. Both bikes are hot. Tires? I love veloflex masters. Not the most durable, but the price is good and the ride is sublime.

Ha! Thanks man. The ride on the jeans and t-shirt bike is amazing as it is. I sometimes wonder why I didn't put the STIs on that one instead. Oh well.

Because 7400 series DA with downtubes looks perfect on there. It is also shimano's best contribution to the sport.

Just under $1,800. Only three made that I know of. Can not find another frame like it. Took a big chance buying it, but have been REALLY happy with it.

I hope you plan to cut that steerer down!

Already done. May cut more once I am POSITIVE there will be no more changes. That pic was made by the seller. I will post some better ones after I get a few more changes done to make it MINE.
