That is nicer than nice Mr Volio, very very nice indeed.

I would be afraid of taking out at this time of year though, would keep it for days of no rain and no wet roads....
I feel like Captain Kirk, on a brand new planet every day, a little like King Kong on top of the Empire State

It'll give you time to repair it - there's something hanging off the back, fouling the chain  ;).

It's very bling.  :thumbsup:

VERY nice, MV (even without the finishing touch red highlight to the saddle - excellent!).

Red, white and black is so Last Year!

Seriously, MV, that is lovely. I hope you thrash it within an inch of its life when the weather improves.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet but might not ride as fast.
Very nice.

MV, are you going to wear red socks under your sandals to complete the look?

Looks lovely btw.

I've been hankering after a road bike for a while now.

Of course

The questions are how to squeeze in guards, 35 mm tyres, and fit a dynohub* Brooks, mantrap & Carradice

MV, looking at the diameter of the downtube, I'm assuming the Bottom-Bracket interface is somewhat stiffer than the traditional steel we seem to ride mostly.  I bet, if you honk out of the saddle, it climbs hills like a scalded cat.
