If I had your collection, I don't think I would ever ride. Trying to decide which to take out would eat up all my time. Though riding the chrome pinarello on a sunny day probably leads to blindness...

Those are really nice bikes, but I hear the paint sucks. Best to strip it and put a nice custom paintjob on before you ride it around.
...and anything short of a permanent ban would be appreciated.

^^^ Rads' just getting one of those because he likes the paint job I did on my wifes carbon frame so much.
And of course Rad, I'm supremely jealous of your Waterford. So, I must build my own custom polished lugged steel frame with my own custom paint job. Just to outdo you.
It's a moral imperative.

You do realize the guy probably got to where he is with the frame 2.5yrs ago, lost it, and then finally found it in the move right?

Rad, you are the 2nd ultimate tease (your painter being #1 in so many ways).

No, as soon as you pick it up we're climbing Germantown Rd, descending Newberry, and then we can stare at it together at the coffee shop.

Actually, if I had even one bike with decent climbing gears, I'd go tomorrow. I gotta fix that.
What's funny is the painter of the Tete and the frame itself is up there just off Germantown Road.

Hey Rad, you will be able to post your Tete in the Classic and Vintage section by the time you actually get to ride it.

Nevermind - I found them over in the Pinarello thread.
Gorgeous. I must restate - this was the bike I really wanted when I started this quest with the Tete.

No brown/purple/green was used, or harmed, in the painting of this frame.

Didn't you mention at one point there was some kind of heaven/hell theme to go with the carbon/Ti frame?
I'm expecting little imps and demons in the shifting paint of the Ti bottom section and then angels and ariels sweetly incorporated into the carbon weave of the top section. Oh yeah, and an image of Job as one of the angels to represent the biblical patience it has taken to get the frame done.
How close am I on that one, Rad?

In fact, the only graphics on it will be a chopped and customized Lemond headbadge and my tiny sig.
