After yesterday's ride on my hacked and "climbified" Merckx, I felt obliged to pay penance to the C+V gods with some traditional geared riding. I threw my noodle legs over the Tommasini and rode 22 miles over some of the tougher climbs in town, 2000 feet worth. Man that Tommasini is a good climber, I don't know what kind of juju is in that frame. They don't show in the pics but this was first ride with a nice set of Simplex Retrofriction shifters I picked up at the Eroica rummage sale. Notice the slammed shift levers to get me up the 15% grade to the photo spot.
