That Guerciotti is surely some serious vintage sweetness!

Take a pick with your front wheel the same height as your rear. As it is, your front end is 3" higher than the rear and it makes the entire setup look really upright.
In general, Specialized and Gatorskin Hardshell arent what I would ever pick for this Mean Girls thread, but I think it could certainly give the bike a fighting chance.

there's not much level ground around here, but at least in this one the advantage is *slightly* in my favor.

it's all good, i find it interesting to learn what the various hot (or not) buttons are of different clicques. reminds me of my import car days where the main determinant of whether a car was hot or not was how ridiculously far it was slammed! love some of the bikes on this thread!

yeah, it's a turbo creo. like a cross between a roubaix and a diverge but with 10lb of motor and battery added in the BB and downtube. rides like a slightly heavy road bike with it turned off, gives you up to 250w in various modes turned on. i use it for climbs to keep my heart rate <120, due to medical issues.

Yeah, maybe a pic of it doing a burnout would cut it

Here you go. I picked this up yesterday evening. Haven't even cleaned it up yet. Same basic color as the Specialized. Even with the ratty, old tires/bar tape and wired Cateye computer, it's still hotter than the Specialized.

Going over a box of stuff my parents gave me when they moved and came across this pic of the race bike I built in 1995.
