posted this before, in a slightly different guise, but she's been apart and on the wall for the last year or so as i collected c-record and shopped for a sorely needed painter.
but that's behind us now, and my first 'real' race bike is back in hand post-paint and built as she always deserved to be...full italian bling. up 'til 2a for a couple nights recently, getting things just so. ~100miles on her in the last couple days. the ride is absolutely sublime, and holy crap, is she ever beautiful...
missing bits mostly sorted already: campy aero post en route, silver box-section FIR tubie rims waiting to be built, needs a steerer trim. i also have some 1st gen c-rec ergos in a box, but i'm liking the DTs a lot.
