lol my 84 miyata with the fantastic ride is especially nice on gel 330 with so so challenge 25 tubular there is a lot to be said for a light wheelset with pumped up tubies it is not bad with ma40 and 28 mm gravel kings, but sublime with the gel 330 and tubies

I know you've had a lot of nice bikes, but I think you'd be happy with that Goodrich someday!
A Chris Kvale refinish is, in my opinion, as good as it gets.
I've owned four of his bikes and each finish is spot on.
Lucky you!

I really like my Fitz though the straight-bladed fork doesn’t quite fit the C&V aesthetic.
