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 02:30 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!

i'd been reading about Marinoni. They make a touring bike, and the price is nice, and it's Italian steel. The touring bike has campy components too.
Then i saw this one on their 2007 lineup, and I really really want an orange bike,
so i had to share. I am telling you this so you don't think i am a total airhead.
I'm not spending more than 1000 dollars on a silver bike. or a black bike. or a blue bike. no no no.
