In the meanwhile I picked up a '95 Special road bike, great bike which has become one of my favourites.

Now that's a looker.

Gotcha, and I can relate, took my '92 RM Hammer for a spin yesterday and feel like I need a chiropractor.

I have this problem with a set of Mavic Aksiums, 700C, where literally if I get a flat, I'm hooped.

Agreed, silly price for something about ready for the bin.

Oooh, I like that stem.

Appears to be in good shape, just watch that seatpost!

Oh dear, that's a little too much BMX for my taste.

Yup, Colner for sure. Any pantos on the frame?

I have an S-Works FSR, basically the same bike as this. They are reasonably light and work fairly well, compared to other FS offerings of the period.

LOL. Weirdly, I took the Marinoni out for a spin today, and on the return leg there's a big left hand downhill section. I told myself I should cover the levers, just in case. Then a van passed me, only to slam on the binders. I did the same, just as a young deer ran across the road.

Cool looking place. I've never seen a stem mounted below the head tube.

Agreed, or deer jumping out in front of you in my neck of the woods.

Nice bike (and dog). I had a CFR2 for awhile, underrated bikes IMHO, and undervalued.

LOL, 'road maintenance' seems to mean 'let things crumble into dust'. It was a stupid incident, my fault for not setting up limit screws properly. Haven't gone down in eight years, and that one left me permanently screwed up, so escaping with bumps and bruises is a win at my age.
