Rim Brake Perfection, lets fan boy yours..

[robt57]

Cleans wording Rim Brake "Titanium" Perfection lit a light bulb.

There is a huge contingent of us that either came back from the dark 'disc' side for road bikes. Or decided the disc Allroad was not the replacement and came back. To some it just never made sense.

Maybe a 15 year window age wise?

My Domane [RSL/SLR] is last year rim brake for the line, and squarely my #1 as the Helix Pro disc road bike hangs. I use the Allroads for all roads not paved myself with 35-40mm tirz.

My #2 is 15 year old Nago Extreme Power.

Will add pics from phone...

Long live 28" rotors.

I would love to find one of those Cervelo R3 muds. Those were pretty cool.

or better

Oooh, that's a beautiful green, Rob.

Here's mine. It's not the apex of rim brake performance bikes, but I made a few small modifications to this '92 Trek 2300 and it came out exactly the way I wanted it to, so for me it is the apex of what it is. Couldn't resist a purple bike for ~$200 on FB Marketplace, bought it just to cruise around on...but it was so good looking that I wanted to ride it more, and in more places. So a very fancy stem, seat post, new cassette, bar tape, saddle, and some Dura Ace C24 wheels (actually the apex of rim brake wheels, I think!) later...

My Gunnar roadie, not much I'd change!

Mstate, that Caad3 is stunning. Great job on the paint. Can you please tell me a little or a lot about how it rides? I'm thinking of one for myself.

Also your painting process. I don't think we ride the same size (I'm 5'11", prefer a 54, can ride a 56) or I'd be pm'ing you an offer right now instead of making this post.

Not mine, but this looks like peak rim brake to me:

I am very happy with this ride, a keeper.

My other rides are largely being ignored. It's been a while since I've burned through a set of tires and chain in less than a year. Just keep reaching for this one.

That would be one of the Pegoretti models.

Agreed: mid size steel frame (reasonably sized tubes), level top tube with subtle head tube extension (so reduced spacer stack), appropriate saddle to bar drop, campagnolo 11 speed groupset & hyperion low profile rims is a recipe for a good looking bike.
