This thread has me wondering... Any modern equivalent of this bike?

I was after a Nago carbon lugged, always wanted to try non monocoque frame that was non AL lugs. The early AL lugged round tube one way too flexy for me at the time/age/beef. The open window chain stay Nago kept being the one I came close on, I really personally disliked that CS and never pulled a trigger. The my 585 popped up locally and I ran, not walked to grab it. And I consider it as good a choice for use stupid coin as my Addict LTD. Now I only drool when I see Saronni Extreme Power C50 or most color C64s. I am sure my old fart-dom would not like the ride quality next to the 585. I already got stiff rollers in the stable. But between Dan [Clean39T] And Wallymann's constant corruption I credit mainly them for here... looking means trading up... Probably as much as they are near same size as me, and their decadent tastes, corruption at it's finest..

I now own two bikes that make the all-time lists here--and I credit the forum for that. My CSi was purchased after a sharp-eyed forum member posted in in the 'PSA, Barn finds, good deals' thread--they are a bike that gets a lot of good press here for a near-modern steel--and after riding mine a bit more, I am convinced that the kudos were warranted. The Look 585 (above) was purchased here on the forum from the eponymous forum member Look585--again a bike that makes a lot of people's lists on this forum and it has certainly lived up to its reputation. If I had more cash I would try some newer go-fast bikes for the heck of it--but so far I am having a ball with slightly older tech, thanks to this forum.

Thank you Sir! I agree, I'm not usually a fan either.

I should have said mostly. I also have a few ones I always wished back in the day I could have got. 585, Early Ti Super X-Lite Spectrum, an S-works Tarmac only slightly less so, and a Reynolds 753 all Henry James fitted that rolls like you're approaching Heaven's Gate... As close as Pinnacle rides I am likely to get and keep my testicles and/or wife...

That TIME VXRS in the classified is certainly making me curious after reading this thread. My size too.
Good thing (or bad) that I don't have the disposable income for it

You need a new interest free for a year CC attached to your PayPal anyway... If you ever pay a penny of interest with this method, stop getting a new one the next year... Or if you ever transfer a balance to the new one, you shoulda already stopped. Good part is the next one is usually 50% higher capacity, or is that a bad thing...

Any Colnago from "Extreme-Power" / "Extreme-C" to current "C64". Holland Cycles "HC Carbon". Parlee "Z1" / "Z2" / "Z3" / "Z-Zero". For super fancy looks: IF "Corvid". |

oooh, that looks nice. For a moment I thought this was related to the current pandemic.

When my 585 was stolen, I looked around at several bikes, but ended up getting a carbon Maglia Rosa from Steve Hampsten. I asked Steve to replicate the Look's geometry with the contact points on a bike he'd made for me previously. And viola, for a price that was very competitive with comparable framesets from Trek, Felt, or Specialized, I got a custom carbon, tube-to-tube constructed, beautiful and great riding frame.
