Not a fair question.

By far the best I've ridden - My Ti IF SEC.....

Some nice rides out there.

I need to take new pictures.

Definitely agree!

Thanks all for posting, especially the ones with pictures, I really enjoyed looking at them.

Thanks, it's a custom road frame I brought to the NAHBS show earlier this year. I wanted to bring my version of a modern road bike, clearance for fat 28's, compact geometry, carbon wheels (thanks Alto) and saddle/seatpost (thanks EliteVelo for the Berk). The frame was made with custom fillet lugs, Columbus Spirit main triangle with polished XCR rear end and polished KVA headtube and fork blades. The brake cable is internally routed through the top tube and the rear derailleur cable internally routing through the chainstays. Lastly the stem is a custom piece and the paint a deep red pearl, because red goes faster. As seen in the photos the bike weighed 16.1 lbs.

i have so many bikes, this question is all but impossible, but if pressed to pick one, i would say the bike that got me hooked on good steel is my very first Serotta. it rides like a magic carpet. one day i'll re-hab it with new components and a proper steel fork which will only serve to improve the ride.

I love how the bike handles at speed--solid, yet quick to turn in/adjust a line. Feels so "quick"--tight, short wheelbase/front center.

I'm curious enough about the geometry of this one (came across it second-hand) that I'm taking it to a local builder this winter to figure out the exact geometry for a future project.

I could post my favorite riding bike to date, but there's something steel, NOS out there waiting to be built. Purely for the purpose of riding enjoyment.

Ever build a bike around a hub you have laying around? The prospect excites me. I'll be looking for a 28 hole match for this beauty when I get closer, and I'll go from there.

In the meantime, any holders of a front hub match, please PM me.

Gaulzetti Pavaix. It handles pave, it goes uphill, it goes downhill. It's the best bike around if you need only one bike.

This thread reminds me of the great Comanche chief Quanah Parker when he Was invited to the White house by Teddy Roosevelt:

During their visit, Roosevelt told the chief, Quanah, you are going to learn white man ways now. You have to do like the white man."

"Shore, president," Quanah said. "You tell me. I'm willing to learn."


Roosevelt said, "Our law says you have one wife. You have nine. You are going to have to get rid of eight wives."

Quanah replied, "OK, fine, you tell the other eight wives."

All nine wives went to the White House with Quanah later to visit Roosevelt.

Amazing bike! Looks like track geometry.

Tick pal, that's really funny.

You know what I like about the responses we get so far?

We get to meet the other "eight wives" we don't usually hear about...

We got the regular posters and then we got quite a few pals that "lurk" more than post that we get to meet and hear from them which is great!

Yes it is a good post Weian Pal. You'll notice I haven't posted a choice yet....still deciding between three
