yes. Eventually.
I have a nice bike but I am definitely enjoying looking around!

Mimi--does this one fit your dreambike criteria of an Italian steel bike that comes in a size to fit you? It sure is delicious-looking!

no. That one is bllue and red.
Hopefully they are flexible about the colors. THAT would be really dangerous.

Just stop it, Mimi. My stable is full right now and I don't want to be tempted, as I, too, have a weakness for Italian steel. (as an aside, Furio was my favorite character on the Sopranos---it disappointed me that he and Carmela never gave in to their attraction!!).

I just saw a Marinoni frame like this 30 minutes ago http://www.marinoni.qc.ca/html/en_piuma.html
in red, frame only, all steel (no carbon), Columbus tubing, an almost triangular shape on the downtube. Big Columbus dove on the fork crown. I make have to go back there and drool on it some more. But didn't like the geometry when I looked it up - steep seat angles even on the touring and sport models and long top tubes.Last edited by DebW; 11-16-2006 at 01:30 PM.
Oil is good, grease is better.

Yeah, Deb, that one would have gotten my attention too. I won't buy unless i am very very sure. I will get a Serotta fit (not that THAT guarantees anything!)

I confess my cluelessness. Mimi, (and anyone else) tell me the things you like about this bike. I am truly interested in knowing more about what I see in the picture. I feel so dumb!
