When I pass someone and they comment on my speed, I say, "It is not me, it is the whitewall tires".

I am jealous of your saddle - had one of those Turbomatics with the (what I thought of as...) elephant skin like yours, myself, that I really liked...but forgot to swap the damned thing for another saddle when I sold the bike it was on

That bike is such a beauty Sam! The silver compliments the red tubing / polished lugs so well. The components give me naughty thoughts.

So a a month or so ago I got this Felt Brougham on Craig's List for $100. Not a huge fan of the color scheme but oh well. I've put a Velo Orange saddle on it, bull horn bars, toe clips and change out the 47T chainring to a 42T ring (the rear is 17T).
