Schwinn Super LeTour. Picked it up at garage sale. I swapped the seat, post, pedals, handlebar with my old spare parts and put new bar tapes.... ride like a champ! The 6 speed Suntour drivetrain is surpisingly smooth after 20+ yrs of original owner "storage". Both 700c wheels are dead true. I am very happy with it.

Here's my '98 Cinelli SC
Here's my '98 Cinelli Super Corsa. It's got '98 Record 8 spd components that are in barely used (yeah, I suck) condition! Aside from the lame Cinelli paint job that tends to chip if you look at it wrong, it's in great shape for a 10 year old.

got some new pics of my rocky mountain, it's probably somewhere in the depths of this thread already, but oh well. i built it up myself, has a mix of ultegra and 600 components and some lovely spinergy wheels with nylon (or something close to that...) spokes.

My '06 Waterford R-14:
66cm seat tube, 5 degree slope, 65cm top tube. Alpha Q carbon fork(longest I've ever seen)
Salsa 130 stem, Deep V Velocity rims, Ultegra group except for the 180mm Dura-Ace crankset, Thompson aluminum seatpost..... 21.4 pounds just as you see it, not bad for a big bike

What's the length on that head tube?

wow, I would think that monster is bigger than a foot long. Soo surprised you could find a fork that would work.

It was ordered special from Waterford by the original owner a couple of years ago....so the fork is probably one of a kind...

Man, that Waterford makes my bike look like a little Italian Bee-Atch! And mine is a 58.5cm frame!
