if i had them there, i would have to stretch my thumb up to shift in the drops.
here's a couple of pictures:

That blue and white Schwinn is such a classic look. So simple and beautiful - very nice.

It's too dark and looks too wierd to use the garage door.
Since new:
American Classis seatpost (soon to be replaced by WCS)
Ritchey WCS 140mm stem
Sakae Custom bars (soon to be replaced by WCS classic bend's)
Michelin Pro2 Race 23's
Shimano Flightdeck that needs to be soldered due to a pinch in right wire
Fizik Arione saddle red/silver
Fizik bar tape (Matching red)
A question: Once I get my it, can I post my track frame here without being persecuted?
