Now that's a fine ride and it looks like my size with my favorite saddle too. Let me know if you want to store it in my basement.

Cable guide details. Also, the tip of the seat lug is not missing paint, it's chromed.

Every time I ride it, I think this is as good as steel gets.

Pulled my early 90ies Concorde Prelude out of storage recently

Built up 9 years ago with not-period-correct 10 speed dura ace/ultegra/105 mix, very rideable.
Dura ace seatpost and stem, need to take some detail close-ups.
Brake lever position is a little low, I did ride it like that at the time

My Samson road frame, a mix of 853 OS, Max and Zona tubing, a hard to catch paintjob - purple in the right light but often dark blue. And glitter of course.

Sadly still havent taken any good photos of it but 2020 was that kind of year. It was gonna be built up and used in Japan but travel constraints meant that didnt happen and I had it shipped home and built up quickly the way you see it.

Looks incredible. I wasn't aware Samson had built frames like that. The paint is sweet too.

What are the bars?
