The devils in the detail.
I always like the little hardly noticeable details on a bike, If you have any little details on your bike your pretty proud of post the photo, I wanna see dem!
My favourite is my hand painted giant logo in my bike.

So he is. You know, like clipping the brake cables so that the bottom of the cable is just inline with the bottom of the pads. Things like that

the patina in that photo leaves me wanting more -- thoughtfully composed with diffused light/color and sweetly dialed dof.

So many neat details on my Freschi, which is part of the reason why I love it so much.

I always liked the engraved "T" on the fork crown, and of course the chrome. The campy aero brakes i polished up was also a nice touch.

Lamplight, now I'm more bummed than ever that we didn't get a chance to ride together up in Bellingham; that's an absolute beauty, and definitely has more than it's fair share of gorgeous details
This thread is absolutely right up my alley! I think I'll just post a detail a day to assist in keeping this thread right up near the top of the food chain

Will, so glad I got to see those red details close-up while in AZ; Wino Ryder, that's the most beautifully-polished brake caliper ever! Absolutely beautiful

But still, I actually sold that bike years ago so I couldn't have shown it to you in person anyway. Daccordi had a model that was almost identical. There was one on Ebay recently for a ridiculously high price (it didn't sell).Edit: After some quick research apparently Daccordi made that model for Bertoni. But IMO the Daccordi lettering doesn't look as nice as the Bertoni, even though the paint jobs are essentially identical otherwise.
