Classy.

Not sure about the red bar tape though.

 

[EltonFrog]

fark me sideways! That is a very nice looking bicycle.

The red will dull down and take on an aged patina, befitting of such a bicycle...man and machine will match, seamlessly. Have FFun, my friend.

Translation: It will get dirty after one ride!

I would give the red trimmings a few weeks to see how I felt about them once I got used to them, but would probably replace with black later. (Though I am going to put black and red tyres on my red Cannondale next time I buy new tyres for it ... )

 

[Gravity Aided]

Very fine looking steed, indeed.

@Fab Foodie

I think the red will clash with your Russian pink socks. Best to change the red to pink!

Gosh, downtube shifters, nice bike Fabbers, can I have it if you die?

 

[AndyRM]

Everyone knows red makes bikes go faster.

Lovely looking bike, I'm not jealous at all!

 

[Fab Foodie]

The red has to go...

It's mostly blue!

 

[surfdude]

[Accy cyclist]

Nice looking bike. Is it new and and how much does it weigh may i ask?

 

[slowmotion]

Nice bike Fabbers. How can you get away with a short cage rear derailler?

 

[Fab Foodie]

So what does a second hand bike set you back these days?

.... a Skiing holiday for the Mrs ....

 

[Fab Foodie]

Nice bike Fabbers. How can you get away with a short cage rear derailler?

It's a DA medium cage, 25T rear and 30T front at the bottom end and 52/11 at the top end.

Dunno yet, when I get an opportunity to weigh it I will.
