My old bike hangs unceremoniously in the corner of the garage:




I will try and get you a pic of my old Casati next time I go out to storage. Its full Campy Stupid Record too. You didn't cut the quit off those campy pedals like a real road rider for more cornering clearance?

A big smile on my face when I noticed that 21 x42 climbing gear. I rode a 6 speed straight block with 19 being the largest for a few years then got an Ultra 7. I have humped over long mts passes here in socal with that 19. I was between 130-140 was my racing weight. I am no 6' tall giant neither. Today, I ride a 23 x39 still but will change when I go to 11 spd DI2 in a couple months. That Viner looks great. You still ride?
