Middle aged man, falling back in love with cycling, looking for an 80's Japanese steel bike frame to fool around with. I don't have any idea how I got tangled up with this Italian model. Started out with a casual glance. She was pretty dirty, but I saw through it. Now I'm finding myself trying to learn Italian and thinking racy thoughts. We're still working on our relationship.
If you could have held out for a few years you could have had both: your Italian label AND a bike manufactured in Asia. Seriously though, thanks for posting the pics. You have inspired at least one of us!
