that is perfection in every way (other than it needs veloflex gumwall tires!).

Now that is how a great bike should look. The pinnacle of aesthetics IMO.

A little '25' didn't make it more eye-catching, IMHO..

Of COURSE I'll disagree as a 'collector'..

WOW! I discovered Zullo about ten years ago in an Australian cycling magazine and interestingly, it was also a blue frame that got my attention. Just love his work and this one is incredible. Love that stem.

A good reminder of how much I don't care for black components.

It wasn't just the "25" there was more far superior Titanium too.

Not every bike needs the "standard Paceline build."

The polished, slightly deeper rims really balance with the chromed fork and the polished groupset.

And I think the black tires let the frame stand out more against all of the silver. Gumwalls (while I almost exclusively prefer them) would be too much, especially against the subtle gold logo.

Hmm..did they anodize the titanium neon green so you could actually see it to make this group more 'eye catching'?? What was titanium on the shimano group?

Just pulling one's leg..yup, it's pretty, and only 1000 groups vs Campag 50th 15,000..80th Campag, altho just carbon-y, is pretty too, IMHO.
