TIP, why are you selling all your bikes? are you keeping any one of them?
(p.s. move back to the bay, we miss you)

howd you get all the paint off but leave the head badge? does it have a clear coat on it now?

aww i miss the bay and the people too!!!

I'm selling the paramount and the vivalo and I'm buying a pista instead! ;)

well, there wasn't any paint, just the chrome, decals, and clearcoat. i used jasco to take the clearcoat and decals off, but i put masking tape over the headbadge so no jasco would get on it...the clearcoat is uneven there, but you don't notice unless you're up close. i sort of think that headbadge looks kind of classy.

At a glance, that bar/stem combo looks really awkward and uncomfortable to me. How is it to ride?

it's actually really comfortable. i rode them as risers, and just didn't like the upright feel. i flipped them, and i was much happier. in the long run, i'll probably randomly switch between them and track drops for the good of my wrists (see that "why is everyone using drops?" thread and the ergonomics discussion there), but that setup is hardly uncomfortable.

edit: but i do want to chop about an inch off each end.

[QUOTE=Shiznaz]I apologize in advance for the image spam. I got the motivation to photograph all my bikes today, so here they are:

my first ss

okay, i have a question...a bike with similar bars was on the fgg recently. and we all thought "holy wow, those bars are insane". where the hell did you find those? those are loooooong.

anyway, just personally curious. happy riding!

gotta be these, check out the weird bump in the middle...

Chucks bikes has 'em just not branded ritchey. Ergo something or other. I bought them and cut off at the first ergo bend for super short length bullhorns.

they're ritchey prologue bars.

that black citane is real nice.

Finally finished my new bike - not too sure about the cinelli stem on there, but everything else is fantastic. It rides so well!

nice^^

crazy crimped tubes!

Tasteful road conversion. The stem almost goes with the Colnago-style tubing..

This is gonna be your night bike, damn that yellow is bright, but looks nice.

That Cinelli stem looks down-right hideous on that otherwise super looking frame.

Swap it out pronto!

-1 for NDS photos!

that frame wants a quill.

ok, i'm running at about 90% disapproval of the cinelli stem - I'll probably look around for something else that I like. And yeah, I know it should be a quill. heh.

sorry for the non-drive shot - it turned out better than the drive side, so I went with it. I'll get out somewhere scenic this weekend and get some good shots, including the drive side.

Cinelli Alters rule. I like it.
