New to the forum, hopefully I have enough posts to put up pictures. Here's mine, a Steelman Stage Race built in 2001. Reynolds 853, 60cm s/t and t/t, 72°-ish head and seat tube angles. Dura-Ace 7700 (with Ultegra brakes), Steelman custom 13cm stem, Ritchey bars and Easton seatpost (the Dura Ace one I originally had cracked). Turbomatic4 saddle.

Cinelli Supercorsa
A custom made and painted 2018 Cinelli Supercorsa with Campy Super Record groupset, Cinelli quill stem, vintage Campy seatpost, Brooks Swift titanium saddle, H Plus Son TB14 rims laced to White Industries T11 hubs, Vittoria Corsa Control tires and Look Keo Carbon Blade pedals. The best of both worlds.
2018 Cinelli custom Supercorsa
Some old and new
Vintage decals from a great site in England.

I'm more of a vintage enthusiast, but a modern DiNucci is at the top of my wish list. Every line is perfect to my eyes.

Mark was absolutely stellar to work with.
This one is not a wall hanger. It rides as nicely as it looks.

My Gunnar Sport
I just rebuilt my Gunnar taking it from 10 speed Ultegra/105 mix to 11 speed R8000 with a mix of other parts. I wanted to go with a sort of vintage retro feel with 11 speed functionality. I went with Velo Orange for the crank (46/30), brakes, and seat post. Up front used Bontrager bars, Dura Ace bar end shifters and SRAM carbon brake levers. Rolling on Bontrager Paradigm wheels with Bontrager R3 700x28 tires. It’s a very mixed bag of components but works beautifully.

You can’t really see them but the wheels are held on by Campagnolo Super Record quick release skewers from a 1984 Gios Torino. So I have a little of everything on it.

Wow, that is such a pretty bike. The elegant, graceful, and well-proportioned. Your wife is smart, how can you not have fond thoughts of her every time you ride it?

Thanks. The color is Mango powder coat with Persimmon decals. Sadly, Steelman got out of the industry about three years ago.

Just built up this Cinelli Vigorelli Road. Found a great deal on a new 105 R7000 groupset. The wheels, bars and stem were all extra parts I had around the house. It is a great riding bike.
