To add the retro aesthetic philosophy while enjoying the the go-anywhere freedom of a slightly wider tire, I added an Italian recently.
A good hand-built lugged steel-framed bike adds a little individuality to the ride.1997 Simoncini Special Cyclocross is ready for the road or trail. Everyone needs a retro lugged Columbus steel CX bike.

why both of them got it wrong is a mystery. top of top tube routing keeps the cables less dirty and gives you the ability to shoulder. i don't get it.
but i'm not complaining. thanks!

Don't let the neg replies throw you in the 41, they don't get that riding through mud/sand/grass/etc can be exhilarating!
Keeps us sharp in "the off season"!
I'll give it another hot!

I haven't settled on a saddle yet, right now I have an Italia Selle C2 gel Flo...I have a Fizik Aliante VSX coming in to try.. I just settled on pedals and shoes as well. I think I'm going to change the crank...I want a little more low end..
