thanks mate

Flat!

pimp style!

dare i mention it, but the deep drops, to me, take the elegance out of the front end

i feel comfortable with my own schnozzer after seeing that!
is it the lesser spotted Knob Nosed Gibbon?

^I seen a documentary on them monkeys the other day, there Crazy!!

@rive_gauche - I needs the deep drops for some decent form, keepin up with boys on carbon means perfect form for me, I gots big long arms also.

Old dear wetting herself as 'Lo Sherrif' thunders by...

Regarding the deep drops.

Is it because all we see these days are ugly compact bars why Pat's deeps seem overwhelming?

I myself am on the hunt for some reasonably priced Fizik snakes.

Is this a Benotto from the Gis Gelati team?

a less than elegant front end!

i got front ended with the back of a shovel

ok, having looked at the outside shot they don't seem so 'heavy'; combo of indoor shortening picture, black tape and cdm bars - although white tape and gdi bars would be sublime, imho

I'l try get some decent photos soon, weather is pretty lame in Ireland at the moment :(

@WimVDD Couldn't tell ya, it is a Benotto do! :/

oh dear, bar tape wound in same direction on both sides, and aforementioned nds routing of brake cable

tough crowd

oops! ha I didn't even notice the bar tape!

Cable is perfect as is.

My old Colnago Mexico restoration project. Long term on and off attention to it between work and uni from September 2014 to April 2015. I restored and built up the frame with the intention of creating a modern day/up-to-date classic Italian road bike. Certainly a fun little whip

nice build!

nice colour!

beautiful, nice resto, if one was being picky then skinnier tyres would balance with the slender tubing and make this 100%

Great mix between "old" and new. Like the alu C-Record crank on it.

That's lovely! The gold chain really works too. Would never have thought of that.
