Your DH really deserves it - but I think I would just "frame" it and hang it on the wall so I could stare at it!! It's the Italian artist in me!!

DH got a big big bonus for his work after the hurricane Katrina, and he DESERVED it.. This is how he paid himself back for all the blood, sweat and tears for months of really unfun hard work.

Mimi, that is SO cute. Hope he's thrilled with it. How does it ride?

What a beautiful bike, and it's nice that he dressed "formally" for the photo
.
I just love a lugged steel frame--so classic. Beautiful paint job, too.
I'll bet you two will be a sight to see, riding together, once you get your new bike done.

He rode it home last night (8 or 9 miles) He said it rides like butter. That he could tell after just 1 block of riding that it was different than anything he'd ever been on.
Today he's doing a 200 km ride. (a permanent for those of you who know rando speak) It will be interesting to see what he thinks by then!

Not limited to Seattle at all though...there's a retro-lugged-steel lover's faction everywhere you go...including here in the Northeast as well (and of course in our house). Some people just gravitate towards things there are built carefully by hand the old fashioned way, that will last a lifetime or two, take you over varied country roads, and won't crack apart in a crash.
