one of my husband's dreams was to buy a bike in Italy. Well, I did it this trip, meet Caterina! She's a steel bike made by Rossignoli in Italy. I just walked into a shop and said "I want that one... and, oh yeah, put a Brooks saddle on it!!"
I found out what those super heavy springs are for!! Cobblestones!!
Oh, what a thing of beauty! I love her!
What a beautiful bike, I love the color!
How is the pricing of bikes there for that type of bike? Mid-range? Excellent to start off with that colour....and you must be one of the rare TE members who has a skirt protector on the wheel.
You must have had fun cycling around the city.
Beautiful. And what a healing way to fulfill Donald's dream.
Will you be shipping her home, or will she stay there with family for you to visit?
Beautiful! I love the color!
Lovely! Absolutely lovely!
Attachment 15404that saddle is a B66 I wanted something sleeker and lighter good thing they didn't have what i wanted. Those springs are a necessity.
The price was at the bottom of their line. I could have gotten a more "Retro" bike for about 500 euros. Mine with the saddle was 350euros.
Caterina will be staying in Italy with Elena. And Elena can ride her all she wants. This particular bike would not work where I live, it's just too hilly.
LOVE her!!! I know Don would be proud of her as well!! She's a true beauty! The skirt guard is so sublte, yet so classy! Enjoy every bumpy cobblestone and every pedal stroke. She's truly a thing of beauty!!!
What a beauty she is!
She's gorgeous, Mimi!!! And as a Kate, i heartily approve of her name! Don would be thrilled! I hope you have many happy miles together.
Very nice indeed!
Beautiful bike in a beautiful setting! She looks like a great traveling companion.
Very nice bike, beautiful appointments and I love the color!
thanks everyone! It really helped my spirits to buy it!
