They look like Mavic SSC with the stickers removed….Great brakes.

Ever since Ryun first posted that Day is Done I have yet to see a Peg that looks better to my eye. I believe that Karl no longer has it, not sure if another PLer does.

Confirmed, SSC. I love them for the elegant way the spring is integrated and they work very well.

Thx much guys, Ryun did a great job planing the paint on this one, I was verry happy to owe it for a bit.

Lovely place, I went up it a few years ago - fittingly with a Texan in tow

That is a beautiful example & the colors are super nice.

He also had a Bixxis with a similar color scheme.. I remember I wanted to buy that frameset from him but it was a lil big for me & I was traveling in Asia at the time it came up in the classified

Hope he doesn't mind me posting it here

Chris Bishop. Yes, the saddle nose is up. That's how I like it.

Yes, also very nice, I think of that blue as honoring Doriano's father, a classic De Rosa color. But man those Venetian panels on the DiD …

All of Vlad's bikes make him look snooty.

Waldo, Great looking Bishop, of course Bishops are all great looking. I could be wrong, but that looks like a Selle Anatomica saddle. I have four road bikes with one on each, and I tip the saddle up a little too. Selle Anatomica recommends it, and they just feel better that way.

I forgot to post my latest and new fav rolling simplicity. Well forgot to list it in this thread I mean..

I thought some ENVE wheels be a nice balance. But the old 404s been rolling fine.

[Waldo62]

Indeed it is. The up-tilt seems to fit my anatomicals much better.
