I was able to get a buddy of mine from CO Springs go pickup a mint Marinoni EL for me. Off to a good start this year!

I have been buying too much stuff. Today I received new chain and cassette for the trainer, Castelli Insider bib shorts that did not fit and tomorrow I should get specialized shoes.

I finally got the fit on the SBC 6061 just right. I swapped out the Deda Zero1 cockpit and went with a 3T -17° stem. I swapped on the spare 3T superleggera handlebar since the compact drops on the Deda wasn’t deep enough for my liking. I finished it off with a Cinelli Mike Giant gold bar tape.

For the Lynskey, I ended up buying a Lynskey stem to tie it all in.

A Light Bicycle AR56 disc rim and 24 CX-Ray spokes - to replace the wheel that a pickup truck crashed into, and that absorbed enough of the impact to see me recover in a week. Small price to pay.

haha! I just searched the net for a blue bruce gordon, and I think I know which one you are talking about. It's not that one, but that color is gorgeous.

I got this piece off ebay: http://brucegordoncycles.blogspot.co...ro-future.html

Absolutely thrilled. I never thought I'd find one in my size. I think this is a keeper for me...Still working out the details of shipping with the seller.

nice. those last 5 minutes are always tense.

it looks like you did pretty well on the final price, given the campagnolo that it's coming with. congratulations! cant wait to see it here.
