After seeing several of them in person, the stem has sort of grown on me as it matches the lines of head tube quite well in real life. But I think Argonaut have now switched to Enve stems.

Horizontal TT, Campagnolo, 32mm tires, and lugged.

We could have closed this thread with ltwtsculler91's bikes. Wow, that No.22 and Hampsten are incredible. Who makes the Hampsten carbon frames?

I have 3 road bikes. All are steel and rim brake, but the Vagen has a carbon seat tube. The Waterford has been with me the longest as the other two I picked up over the winter.
Each one is a joy to ride and has it's own unique characteristics. I need to get the Pegoretti and Speedvagen out on the road once the salt season is over to determine which of the 3 is best suited for me! Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk Last edited by Hilltopperny; 02-23-2024 at 10:52 AM. |

I've been avoiding replying because every time I think about it I'm surprised about which bike comes to mind.
It's not my fastest, it's not my best feeling on the road, it's not the most original, it's not the most modern, not the lightest, not the most aero, etc. Yet every since I finished the build and got it on the road it's been the bike that stirs my soul the most. Can't explain other than that. So I guess for now the perfect road bike for me as a total package is lugged steel with a killer paint job, short chainstay with the rear so tucked in that nothing taller than 23mm tires fit, DT friction shifting, rim brakes, narrow wheels and born from the forge of an Italian master. |

Waaay too flexy for someone my size - and I prefer steel, but a magical combination to watch.

Yep, clear up to my eyeballs full of it so I can't see straight.
