Hey gents, This bike is for sale now. PM me if interested. Cheers, Timo

Perhaps I've not made myself clear Mike. I'm in no way trying to assert that Nick is elitist or a corporate asshole. What I want is to bring light to my feeling that he may have an unfair advantage in this competition. This isn't about money and I'm well aware of Nicks back story. Having thought...

I Like Nick's involvement and enjoy his entries. I do wish his user name was something else. My personal issue is with guys who spend a ton on garage queens, Nick is not one of these guys. I'm into bike technology, old and new, Travis's bike was junk then and now so I'd take a pass on owning it.

Re: I'm not trying to attack Nick or his business. By all accounts he's a great guy running a great business that benefits us all. I'm just commenting on how I feel about his participation in botm. There's just something that feels a bit off about it, I'm not fully aware of what it...

TOTAL garage queen! A race whip that's been collecting dust and rust for 20 yrs is not a patina'd bike imho. The head tube's cracked, surely no one's riding that bike? This is exactly the kind of entry that takes the fun out of this comp for me. I thought this would be a great month for...

Re: I'm with you on the tires. I'm going back to black next winter. Cheers!

Re: Nice Yates! Way to clean... I hope you learn how to operate a chain tool one day :roll: :)

Re: On the subject of my bikes year of build; It has a full Campi Victory groupo excepting the Modolo Speedy brakes and mavic SSC derailleurs. The Victory group was available in 1984 (to builders?) and released to the public in 1985. I think this means the bike is an '84 or '85. It certainly...

Re: The whole story is on wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Battaglin The high point for him was winning the Vuelta-Giro double in 1981 on a custom Pinerello. Battaglin Cycles was founded in 1982. The early Battaglins look very similar to his winning Pinerello of 1981. His 1982...

Re: Got my adapter today. Except for some minor nitpicking it's done!

No worries there, I didn't tell the whole story. My friend was given the bike by his neighbor, who was given it by a client who was going to dispose of it. If I had any doubts about it, I would have tried to find its owner.

I forgot to flat them before taking these photos. I actually put them in this rise for my first ride. I like them up but, I'm new to the road bike thing so it may take a while for them to drift back to level. Thanks the same.
