I still have the same bikes I posted in this thread nearly two years ago. How about that? It's worrying that I don't have a strong urge to upgrade either. I'm just not convinced that the bianchi is slowing me down.

Carl, your bikes are beautiful! I lust for one, but your standard sizing doesn't accommodate my need for a 60cm top tube.

Edit: oh! And welcome to the forum!

Lord that brings back memories. I mashed many a mile on one of these 100 years ago. I don't know if I could avoid one if it presented itself in a trade or cheap on SocSec deposit day.

I gotta post My Y-Foil Rubified. I had busted my calv into 7 pieces. X-rayed frequently as the bone doc was hoping it would granulate back into one piece without surgery. And it did.

I was not supposed to be on the bike outside, just trainer in the house. But 5 weeks out I hit a risen expansion joint gasket traversing a bridge that did not get called out. I had to go back next day for an X-ray, cause it hurt, and we thought it displaced more/again.

Doc was pissed,"I thought no outside riding yet was clear!". I said "yeah, I know..." I'll stay on the trainer. Which I did not do of course, this was the remedy [not told to bone daddy doc]

Thanks Hollowgram5! We will be adding new sizes soon. We plan to be hitting the 50cm range to 60cm range and everything in between in the next year or so.

Thanks mtechnica!
