BMC Road Machine. It is composed and comfortable over most any surface, climbs well, descends better and it puts power down very well. It's also gorgeous.

Love this bike.

Love how all my bikes ride but this one is the hands down winner.

Non-indexed Campy grab bag 10 sp shifts solid like it was carved from granite. Only bike I have that is what I would call "Planar". All bikes go forward when you pedal, but this one seems to fill a void and smooth out with the appropriate power unlike any other bike I have ridden. When up to speed it just settles into an effortless sweet spot. Fits like a glove. Color changing paint that looks pink or red depending on lighting. Chrome where it should be. Internal routing. Bravo sr. pelizzoli!

^ Nice Ciocc!

I picked up a 57cm Designer 84 from the original owner last year. I love how it rides but it's a tad too big if I'm being honest. Not the best cosmetic shape but it does fly down the road and is very comfortable. The bike was my entry into the Ciocc world and now I've got it listed locally so I can move it on and find one that fits me better. You are so right about how well they ride!

That description is almost poetry. Now i need a Ciocc. You are an advertizing genius.

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 have a sloping S3 that is pretty fantastic...or maybe it's the Campy Shamals tubulars that make it so great

Today it's my Tangerine Atlanta. It feels much lighter than the actual weight. I know, crank arm at 11 o'clock= fail. I also have an Atlanta with a steel fork. I like them both.
