    This EM is fantastic, I love great old steel frames with modern gruppos. I also have a soft spot for the Cinelli super corsas - any pictures of that one?

    Since this is turning into the bike thread, I'll share a few of mine. First is a bike I had a year and half ago. The frame ended up being warranty'd and now I have the matte grey/clear one. And then there's the Mtb.

    I'm not even a bike guy, but this is a great thread. Classic form and design in a mechanical object; gotta like it.

    Thanks!
    Regarding the Cinelli Super Corsa - you just got to love them. Mine is not built up yet. I am going to respray it as the original paint has too much damage to be restored as it is. Going for a yellow and red "Brügelmann" paintjob (google Brügelmann Cinelli). This frame is the missing link - it has the old lugs and seatpost diameter but all the braze ons of later bikes. Built in 1983 it is a real transitional frame between the old and "new" style.

    I've not been out quite so much on the bike this year, but this bank holiday weather was too good to pass up. Couple of nice photo ops, the first to show you my custom built titanium Burls, and the other just a stunning view. (Which really is what the cycling is all about!)

    @styggpyggeno1...I don't know a whole lot about bikes (or watches) but that's some serious bike porn right there!

    As I wrote earlier I started bicycling and collecting vintage bikes more seriously in the 80-ies. But... Here is a drawing my mother saved from when I was six years old.
    The design was cutting edge and I wrote (with some dubious spelling):
    "My bicycle is bad but good in the way that it goes (think I ment works)"
    I have two elder brothers so I never got a new bike as a kid. Maybe that is why I have so many today...

    I have it on the wall in my hobby work shop.

    We had a cool masters team ride today...time to relax since the road races and crits are pretty much finished for the season...although time trials continue through September. Good to get out on the road with team mates after being holed up in the pointy end of the bus. Our masters team (UBS/QCW) consists of 14 riders total...we range in age from mid 40's to mid 50's and range from CAT 1 to CAT 4.

    :thumbsup:

    Good news, folks...Speedy Gonzales (my grail watch) makes the podium (2nd place) at the Ohio Time Trial State Championships (Masters 50-54 division) today. I rotated it around to the inside of my wrist for the podium pic...because everyone wants to see Speedy Gonzales on the podium. :thumbsup:

    Headed out to do 55 mile grupo, all the while celebrating the arrival of the 'malliot jeune' into Paris (please pardon for possible mis-spelling of "yellow jersey' in French!?!)
