I still have my steel road racing bike from the early 1980s and in it's current form as shown with clincher wheels it weighs exactly 21 lbs. Note that I've raised the stem a bunch in deference to my aging stiff back. I raced it for over two decades before being forced to buy my aluminum / carbon sti brifter wonderbike to stay competitive.

Last time I showed you the MONOC in race trim with its Zipp 303 carbon tubular wheels. This time I'll show you the MONOC in its more practical training and touring mode with its Velomax Circuit aluminum clincher wheels. The front wheel had been deployed on the Soma Rush, but I recently got a Wabi wheel for it, so I was able to return it to service on the MONOC. I also replaced the rear Continental Grand Prix 4000 700x23c tire with a new larger Grand Prix 4000s 700x25c tire, and installed the old 700x23c tire on the Wabi front wheel. Due to the added wheel weight and also using an all steel cog cassette instead of a Dura Ace cassette with titanium cogs, the overall weight of the MONOC increased by 1.8 lbs, but it's still a fairly lightweight 17.6 lbs sans toolbag, and is still lighter than the Dolan Pre Cursa.

Changed the bottle cages on the MONOC from the Chinese carbon units to a pair of beautiful handmade in the good ole USA Andrews King Cage units welded up from lightweight SS tubing that add only 16gm per cage over the carbon parts. I got these cages for my Colossal and liked them so much I decided to get them also for the MONOC, but had to wait several months for them to get back in stock, since they are selling like hotcakes. They are a bargain at only $16 apiece at UC and can be bent to provide just enough force on the bottle to keep it secure but permit very easy insertion or removal. Note also the Planet Bike Little Buddy seatbag sporting a clip-on tail light. Very convenient feature if I find myself caught out riding after dark.

Gojira is almost done. Just needs some fenders and a front rack/basket. I've been wanting a proper townie for a long time.
1993 Miyata 721 with original Shimano RX100 groupset (105 cranks). I put my spare Selle Italia Flite 1990 on it for mad #periodcorrect points.

Picked up another Cannondale, this time in a trade for another bike I had. It is a 1990 SR 400 Criterium. This makes 4 in the collection. Pretty pumped about this one to say the least. Also I learned from my 1992 Paramount that Shimano RX100 is the absolute most underrated group set of all time. This thing shifts flawlessly.

Needs a stem shifter or a thumbie, but awesome none the less.

I actually don't mind reaching down to shift. So far it hasn't been an issue (most the time, I'm going < 15mph on this thing). It could use a better brake cable job, though. That's next.
P.s. thanks, dudes. I'm having so much fun on this thing. Wouldn't mind slapping some 28c tires on it, eventually.

I have 3 bikes with 28mm Paselas. Perfect size for speed and cushion.
