Salutations all...
 

I'm Pete from WW. Have been lurking for a bit after noticing the cross-posting between the two forums. Enjoying things over here thus far.

I have a bike problem like many of you. The stable consists of:

1. Rossin Professional SLX, C-Record;
2. Kona Jake the Italian Snake, Campagnolo 10 speed smorgasbord;
3. Cervelo R3, Campagnolo SR 11 speed; and
4. Jamis Renegade Elite, Ultegra mechanical (scheming to replace with Campa, obviously).

I live between Lima, Peru and Washington DC, so ride quite often in both (it's a long story). Italian, transplanted in the US, Campagnolo lover (as is obvious).

Happy to be here! :banana:

Welcome Pete!

How is the riding down south?

Welcome. Post some bike pics when you get a chance!

Welcome!

I'd love to hear some stories about riding in and around Lima. I've been through there on the ends of two different trips to climb in the Cordillera Blanca, and the city seems like it would be a nightmare for cycling. :eek:

Welcome Pete!

Welcome! Can always use another Campy lover around here

Bienvenido bacan! :hello:

Hey there. Are You any faster than slowpoke Pete?;)

Thanks for the welcome. Riding in Lima is crazy with the poor roads, awful drivers, infrastructure issues and of course unbelievable traffic. But I wake up at 4AM to ride and it's not too bad. And then there are Sundays...

De Rosa (all Campa C-Record except SR crankset and Shimano DA brakeset because I raced and Deltas didn't work for me):

Cervelo R3 (old shot, same frame and wheelset but now all SR 11 speed - no recent pictures!):

Wow...great stable of bikes!

Welcome Pete!

Rossin lover here, have a retro-ed 82 Rossin Record I have been working on, paint is next, how about a picture of the Rossin Professional SLX, C-Record, Please!

Marc, I think the Rossin looks great as is.

Pete: four bikes is not a problem, it's a solution.
