1990 era Billato brothers built Greg LeMond, Columbus SL tubing.

Really came into it's own with the wheelset in the pic. It was just waiting to have some rims of similar vintage, I guess...
Yes!!!! Nice neo-retro build!

The newest addition to my stable. A Jan De Reus I picked up several months ago. Recently built up with a nice Shimano 600 tricolor groupset.



And out on the road the other day.

That doesn’t look like a Bontrager. I see lugs, no gussets, no wishbone stays. What model is it?

That is drop dead gorgeous.

And... undoubtedly with a ride to match.

Love the build.

academically, i know that most any frame material can be designed and tuned to ride well, but academics aside - when the day calls for long hours, rough roads and maximum smile factor - only steel will do, IMO.
