Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Took some new pics--the late night basement shot just wasn't cutting it.

Dr Pete, why is the seat collar clamp anodized blue? Looks really out of place on an otherwise really sharp machine. That bike looks fast just sitting there. Isn't there a black clamp available? Very odd and distracting IMHO.
If you've already answered this question elsewhere I apologize in advance.

I'm not sure why it's blue, but it's the stock clamp that comes with the frame. I don't know--I kinda like it in some strange way...

I've gone out for a few rides and it's just stupid fast. It's 90% the position that the bike allows rather than the cool aero frame, but the speed difference is quite noticeable, especially hammering away on the flats or descending.

My new baby, best bike "I" have ever ridden. Definitely doesn't compare to some of these others in looks though. Thinking about maybe getting some silverish bar tape for it too.

2006 Trek 1000. Nothing special at all compared to some of the bikes I've seen, but I like it alot. The bike I had before this was ~26 pounds of lugged steel with Shimano 600 12 speed components. This is a big step up from that haha. Maybe one day I'll have a Cervélo or a Colnago or something like that, but I'm happy with my Trek 1000.

Not much to see yet. I am on the fence about having it repainted professionally or just riding it as-is (it has character!)

I would probably paint that Masi 3V. Those are steel, correct? Or, to retain character (because I personally think it looks awesome right now) you could just clear coat it. Scratched up like that I would imagine it's pretty prone to rust, but I dunno if they have something under it.

What year is it btw?

It appears to be fully chromed under the paint. If anything I'd framesaver the inside, there is no rust anywhere at all (not even a speck) on the outside.

it's a 1986

I think it looks awesome too, like it's been USED but awesome.
