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

No kidding! I couldn't find any 51s in celeste at all! So I settled for a 2002 in blue instead. But what the heck. I'm riding a Bianchi.

Couldn't find a new 51cm so I built my one using a used Campione.

I bought the stand from my local Performance Bike shop a couple years ago for my mountain bike.

It's called the "Performance QuickStand"

As the proud new owner of an EV3 Al/carbon frame in the new celeste/celeste paintjob like supreemo's, I'm definitely converted. I can't believe I actually thought about getting it in something other than celeste...
The Veloce is an awesome bike, it's amazing to see customers' react to a steel bike with Campy when they've been comparing it to aluminum crap with Shimano.

Sorry to crash in here, but could the guys who own the Virata give me a quick review. I rode one a while back and it seemed like a nice ride. However, when I first took it out, I actually broke the chain. Never happened to me before on any other bike. LBS owner says it was just a bad chain. Anyway, I didn't get to ride it long because of crappy weather. Any words about it would be very appreciated.

Thanks
