Hi,
this is my bike. I've designed it myself and I'm quite proud of the result.

I know nothing of this bike except that it's beautiful
Great color, you don't see many bikes that color.

Yes I am rather short. :-) That's why i didn't get a brand but a custom made one. The size is 48. I had to wait too long if i would want to get a 'Specialized', or a Trek, or whatever.
And by having a custom made, I could choose the color.
All the rest is campagnolo. My Merckx mixed is also with campagnolo. And I'm happy with it. I'll post my Merckx later (i have to clean it first.
)

BEAUTIFUL!!!! I absolutely love the color. I've never been a fan of orange, but when I see it on a bike, I instantly start to drool. What a beauty! Congrats on getting the bike finished. Have you ridden it a lot so far?

She is just beautiful. ENJOY!!! Just curious, are those 650c wheels? I also ride a 48cm and that's the way I went on my most recent bike and am really happy with the choice.

Size 23 is the width. The diameter is either 700c or 650c. You'll need to know to buy tubes and replacement tires.

The pics are not very clear, I'm afraid. It's not my camera, mine is broken. So this is my Merckx for regular use and touring during the winter time, and my brompton for commuting.

Nice! I also have a white Merckx with the same bar tape. I don't think we can get the touring bikes here in the US, only racing frames. I've never seen one, anyway.
