And an unplanned purchase of a Team Fuji....to cheap and good to pass up.

Bayliss geometry Tallerico, 18.1lbs with 28mm tires. Best bike I've ever had or ridden. Campy Chorus with hideous or awesome brake hoods.
Old Voodoo CX bike with a brand new powder coat. 1x10. Now pay attention. SLX derailleur, Sunrace cassette, campy Chorus cranks, generic narrow wide ring and microshift bar end shifter. The tires arrive on Wednesday. It's 19.88lbs, so with Maxxis Ramblers, should be right about 22. I can live with that.

All my road bikes are steel, but here is my newest. It's Columbus Zona tubing and i built it during the winter and spring in a local class taught by a long time builder. He painted it.

Here's the Team Fuji I shared earlier now that it's all sorted out.
22 lbs 10 ozs. I do have black pedals on it now.
Settled on yellow bar tape
Used contrasting blue finishing tape
Then I picked up this Davidson Impulse that I'm still sorting out.
