More Photos From My Lazy Weekend

I figured as long as I was there, I'd shoot some photos of some other bikes I hadn't gotten around to yet...including the infamous Ironhorse.

And here are some classics from the past...

Great photos!

The blurring under the bottom bracket really takes away from the photo though. Use the clone stamp tool in photoshop instead of blurring what you used to hold up the bikes.

Incorrect. Rad's bike stand up by themselves.

fuso, hands down. The orca is a close second, though. which do you spend the most time on?

On second thought, they are all nice...

Why is the Ironhorse infamous? Is there a story with that one too?

Nice looking bikes, by the way.

Ok,

How many flippin' machines do you have now?

I assume you still have the Trek, as it has your name on it?

P.S. I really like the Daccordi and the Vetta.

The Ironhorse is infamous because its the one I ride the most, simply because its the one I ride at night.

What's missing is the Trek and the Giordana in terms of complete, rideable bikes. But I already have photos of those.

Not included because they aren't currently rideable are the Lemond (duh), Pinarello, and the Tommasini.

Regarding the Orca, you've built and photographed it very nicely. Somehow, the design of the frame seems inconsistent with your taste in bikes -- too post-modern.

I'd have figured that of the new frames out there you'd have gotten one of those curvy carbon DeRosas or Colnagos.

Regardless, I'm sure the Orca is a great ride.

Interesting observation. While I do prefer the older classic steel, I do like some of the modern stuff. The Orbea came to me after I tailed one for 50 miles on a ride last year. I just fell in love with it. God help me if I ever get stuck behind one of those newer CF Colnagos or Pinarellos.

Thank you for your comments. While the Waterford and the Fuso are the better known of the group, both the Vetta and the Daccordi are equally impressive out on the road.

Has anybody ever seen a Vetta out on the road here in the states? I know I haven't.
