Nice paint scheme. Looks a bit like my old white Gitane with chrome.

Also..nice boat in the background!

EDIT re: riding weather. I feel bad I've driven to work three days in a row - it is pouring rain here! Yike.

Here's my 1984-ish pogliaghi race bike with the retinato pattern on the frame. i built a set of rims on the original campagnolo hubs to run clinchers and have really loved this bike. I had dreams of getting a roof rack for my '84 eta and putting it on but now I'm toying with the idea of selling it because it just gathers dust at the moment

Well get out and ride it, great time of year to be riding.

That's a gorgeous bike. Must be a blast to ride. How big is the frame?

Toe straps? Are you in the Olympics? Do you have a death wish?

All of the above. ^

I actually bought it off some college student and haven't really ridden it at all yet. Definitely getting rid of them. Plus, the pedals are white. No idea what he was thinking with the color mixture there on a black and red frameset.

Thanks, this is my first build and hopefully not the last. I really had fun picking everything out and getting it all put together.

Dussen where did you get that e30 neon sign?! that thing is awesome!

The sign was custom built. It's not mine. The garage is my good friends AAA325is.

How do those forks feel? I've never ridden one. Always been interest on if it feels much different than a conventional fork.

To be honest I really haven't ridden a whole lot to tell you the difference. This is the only suspension fork I have ridden. I do like the feel of it over the older Cannondale Pepperoni and P-Bone forks, that's abput all I can compare them too.
