Yeah those Vanilla bikes (on the last page) are amazing. They're made in Portland (my home) Oregon, and I've only seen a few in person, but IMO some of the best custom frames available.

Check out his website http://www.vanillabicycles.com/ for some porn that wasn't posted.

yeah man, that is where those pics have been taken from

" One of the best frame builders in the world, an innovator and artist, was someone virtually unknown to most cyclists. His name is Mario Confente and was from nearby Montorio, only a few miles from Verona . Due to his tragic death** only 124 road bikes and 11 track bikes bear his name, **all considered masterpieces. The full story of Mario Confente is yet to be written but the piece by Russell W. Howe, written in 1998, tells part of the story. This blog entry comes about as I rode today with Pietro Guerra, and we discussed over an espresso topics ranging from Mario Confente to his days on the Bianchi team with Felice Gimondi. "

Interesting... I hadn't noticed the hub on the Vanilla until now.

Drilled Phil it looks like?

Those are nice looking bikes.

These dropouts?
Seriously beautiful machine.
Love 'em, if I was amazingly well off I'd get my initials put in there!

the first think which cross my mind was david beckham riding vanilla with his initials on the rear dropouts :{) i don't know why ...

vast resource of articles with references so one can explore and add many more links to their bookmarks

That Vanilla is pretty damn hot, not massively keen on the handlebar/stem thing IMO.

what do you think about rear dropouts of that bronze vanilla?
p.s: i would kill for that frame :{)

seen that on bay, seller has some outstanding bikes

yeah, i'v read that... thicker dropouts and chainstays...

handlebars not my cup of tea either :{)
