That bike is utterly surreal. It's so different that it sort of challenges accepted convention as to what a road bike should be.

Yup I think surreal is a good way to describe it. But in the flesh the proportions are very right. The seat stays are so graceful and sharp.

That is really a beautiful bike! I recently bought a similar ‘nobby’ stem for a Pinarello Maxim, and my nob actually makes the stem move forward (it seems). I wouldn’t ride it without fully understanding the mechanics and limits, but don’t see the logic in this being for a bike computer? Curious if there are more people with experience with the stem. There seems to be a spacer as well, but that is only 5mm (maybe others have been removed over time).

Very interesting. I assume my nob does that too, I’ll check it out. Cheers.

The cleanup continues. Stripping down the bike and cleaning bits as I go. The cranks are immaculate, that gives an idea of the condition of the whole bike.
