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!!

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.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

We'd love to hear more about your trip if you're inclined to share, Mimi. I hope it also lifted your spirit.

Picturing you on that bike, in Italy, is a lovely image. I hope you ride it to a cafe for cappuccino. That would be so perfect.
