if you could see it live.
I know bikes are cool and so on, but this one is soooo damn pretty.
Maybe it helps that it my favorite bike colour.
Whantever i like this alot, and couldn´t believe that this was for sale for such a long time and nobody wants to buy it for a realy fair price.
Lucky me.

86 Salsa Scoboni

one of my favorite bikes.





All the best
Cheers Kay

Love this Salsa!
I have a 2008 Ala Carte, which is a tribute to these early Ross Shaffer Salsa's.
Are those Suntour Roller Cams (Cunningham design)?
On my Suntour Roller Cams the springs are hidden behind the brake mechanisms.

No these are swiss cheese from a small repro series.

This month is incredible. Too many great bikes to choose from. I wish we could vote by making a ranked list.

Jimi911's 1985 Ibis Custom

1985 Ibis Custom

Here's another one from the stable. It came in trade for another Ibis custom I got that was a bit too big ... this one is a bit to small for me, but a real nice example of an early Scot Nicol custom Ibis. Here it is in its original setup the previous owner had one it. I got it as a frameset...
