    Oodles of Cash • Armee de terre' team sponsored So goes Mario Cipollini • Movie

    LOL, good old 'Super Mario', definitely put some colour in to the peloton. Not sure if he out-Armstrongs Armstrong in the personality department? I think the government of Brazil allowed a convict out of jail to compete in the 1982 World Cup. They lost anyway.

    De Rosa Rosso Corsa

    Thanks for the correction, I guess C Record would have had the Delta brakes? Anyway, yes, it is a couple of cm too small.

    here's Lance Armstrong today. He's retro isn't he

    Anyone remember the Tour de Trump? Anyway, Armstrong will always be a polarising figure, and he used and abused the system just like he was used by the UCI to manipulate and regain a positive image for the sport post-'The Great Doping Scandal'.

    Cool, she was a real hero to us on the west coast BITD. I remember when she did an event at the co-op on Broadway, and some scumbag stole her bike from in front of the store.

    when will this be considered a Retrobike?

    I had a tough enough time justifying picking up an '07 Trek Madone, as I thought it way too modern.

    A nice bit of sculpture.....

    Same with me, a nice '92 Stumpjumper in my size turned up this morning locally for super cheap, but the better half shut that one down toute suite.
