Thanks! I’m itching to get this one finished, wheels are the final step. Front was finished this Monday, the rear is laced and should be wrapped up this week. TB14/DA 7speed. Then it’s a matter of taking some measurements and ordering up some 28mm rubber once confirmed it’ll fit. If all goes to plan I’ll get it out this weekend on some 25mm clinchers I have sitting around. It’ll be a nice change from the ~22mm tubs pictured.

1978 Jack Taylor "Tourist" model. Original owner bought the bike from Holland Jones of Fulton St. Cyclery in the Bay Area, and rode the bright yellow bike all the way from San Francisco to Miami Florida. The bike is still an attention-getter 40 years later, and the Taylor touring racks can also carry a ton of groceries!
Holland Jones - that's a name I hadn't heard for some time. Everyone in the SF bike scene knew him.

I see the partial yellow bikes have arrived....
Guess I can add mine too then.
First would be the Serotta CSI:
Colors of the 1994 Coors Light Team
Another shot of how it is now from a recent ride<br/>
Then there's the Giordana XL Super, my overall favorite bike:
Current build configuration
Out on the road with me, feels like the perfect dance partner on each ride.
I've got a couple of more with yellow but it's more accent than anything.

Well, it isn't technically a bike yet, but it is yellow - a 199? Fondriest. Note the shaped steel tubing, and a seatpost lug only. Due to the shaped tubing, lugs were probably not available.

1995 Serotta CSI
Was sold as a '97, but I believe the S/N makes it a '95. I picked it up earlier in the summer and have been enjoying it before I rework it this winter.

Cannondale
I may have posted this last year, but it's still yellow. My Cannondale SM600 which I built in 1985 when I worked at a Bike Shop in NY. Made a few changes (and wish I had saved every part!) Some of the changes:
Installed Bullseye Cranks
When I replaced the steel fork with ab SR Litage Aluminum, I needed to change the front Rollercams to Cantilevers. Pedersen SE brakes with Odyssey Straddle Rods.
