Clean 39t has always posted positive and fun comments. He has gone thur more bikes in the past that I can keep track of. The best part is Dan seems to really enjoy the total package of our hobby. Riding, wrenching and hunting for the next bike to try. What is not to like? Stay passionate about our hobby and continue to have fun. My only complaint is that you are not my seize and since I also live in Oregon I could be enjoying some of your herd.

Add Marinoni to your list.

another key place to look for inspiration in this genre of bikes is the work of Dario P, for the various race bikes he made over the years. I dont mean the extended head tube bikes - i mean the real race bikes he made for pros under various ghost names. there are quite a few out there, and darios bikes have carried quite a few professionals to the podium, as far as i know.

I had a blue Zurich with Rolf wheels and triple 9 speed Ultegra like one of these pix.

So true. The best of all my bikes in my eyes (and butt) is my Giordana XL Super. Something magical about how all three of my Giordana's ride yet the XL is ever more superlative! Dario did the design on these and even made a few of the earlier ones himself according to Gita sources.

The other two I have are really, really good also!

My Sachs is for sale. If fits you. You will never need another steel bike after that. I had many, many steel bikes, none were better.

That is the truth, brother!

Any geo tables floating around for those that you've been able to find? Just curious how close/far off of his more recent work they are...

Proportions aren't quite right for me, but it is a very nice looking frameset...not that I can afford it anyway

I am sure they are perfect for you 61x58.5. You can ask Paul to build you something else

If it must be classic steel race on a budget that will give guidance for Paul's build, then Della Santa all the way.

Its what I based my discussion with Paul for my alloy frame on, he loves Roland's bikes and how they ride, and was a great foundation for the discussion I had with Paul.

Come down East Bay way and this one's yours to ride around while my fat butt gets dropped up Toyonal.

I had a 2000 something be Rosa neo primato that was great. Molteni paint, Lugged and Steel threadless fork. It fits into your narrow category I think.

That stem - those tires - the paint -

I appreciate the offer - doubt I'll be able to take you up on it in the next few weeks, but hopefully before the year is out!
