My old bike (the one that got ripped off, if you remember) was an '86 Pinarello Catena Lusso. Fantastic bike. Probably the best I've ever owned until my current FP2 - and it's very difficult to compare that one to anything else I've ever owned since it's in SUCH a completely different league. Although I love the FP2, I really miss my old steel frame Catena Lusso. That bike kicked ass - and it was hilariously good fun to pass guys on Saturday mornings who were out on their $4,000 Cervelos huffing and puffing along on my "old" steel bike with ratty paint and mismatched components. Good times.

I still love the feel of a good steel frame bike. Once I get working again and things settle down, picking up/building another steel bike is on my list of things to do. Maybe a Bianchi or something. Dunno. They're a completely different experience than anything else you'll ride though.
