Confession: I've had a "fetish" for the color red lately since it reminds me of the lipstick my ex-girlfriend would apply before a ride! Sigh...

Late 90's Pinarello cross steel frame. Built it into a 2nd roadie. Veloce Ultra torque compact, Veloce components, Campy Proton wheels. Frame was bought off ebay. Had just been custom painted a metallic orange which is prettier than the pictures can show. The carbon fork was already on it when I bought it. Bought it to use commuting but now I'm not sure.

Fit is a very personal thing, and many people like the feel of a larger frame. Based on the saddle height the stem looks a bit long, but that can be easily changed.
The best thing to do is ride it and see how it feels, then bring your feedback back to the shop and let them help you dial in the fit.

Not sure if I posted my bike here before, but it's my trusty racer/beater/training bike: 2000 Trek 1000 with several upgrades.
Heavy as it is, I love my bike.

tires are brand new. I just upgraded most of the bike. originally had full 600ex group, and Wolber Gentleman GTA rims with specialized Turbo S tires and pearl 9 black quill stem. Steel fork, 600ex clip pedals, and non-biopace chainrings. also was a 6sp freewheel setup, 11-21t
I purchased the bike new from Bike Nashbar in '86 on sale for $549 if I recall. Sold normally for $799 I think.
and thank you for the compliments.

Just picked this up yesterday from a really cool ex-crit racer... bike was hanging up in his garage for over a decade until then.
Yeah, yeah... Granny gear picture. I was going up a hill.

Here's my bike:
Seriously. I actually bought one of these, used, for $5.00 about this time last year. Road it pretty much all summer long. Bought a Raleigh Technium something-or-other near the end of the season. When I get it tuned-up and get some real pedals on it, instead of those stupid things you have to wear special shoes for, I'm going to ride the Technium. I'll post a pic of the Technium next.
