Somebody didn't bring this to the ride this morning.

Brought an ugly old orange De Rosa with Campy Delta's instead.

I saw this one in person today and it is a classic case of photos not doing the object justice. What a great machine.

Was under the very direct impression that he would only do the tesselated logo seat tube on new builds and not a panel.
Guess things have changed.

Nice frameset!

My 2023 RS doesn’t have a tessellated logo.

The dark metallic blue Sachs with pink and lime accents is a repaint in style of 2007 Era to give it period correct look.

Next, I shipped it to Dave (with his encouragement, of course), where he replaced the cable guides with stainless ones on his work stand.

Soon it'll be on JB's work stand for total refinishing. I plan to have it done in the same color scheme because I've always loved it. This is the bike that won the NAHBS prize for fillet brazed frames, btw. Dave checked and confirmed that the frame's alignment was still perfect and that all is in order. Can't wait to get it back after its second trip through the DK and JB work stands.

Yep a fillet brazed stainless Kirk is a dream bike for me.
