Show off your Neo Retro road bike
I've done a search for neo retro and all that seems to come up are posts about Paul Comp. neo retro brakes. It there a thread already started that I'm missing? I'm looking for photos of modern steel framed road bikes that have a retro flavor.

I wanted this bike to look retro, but be built on newer components.

How can a bike without downtube levers be retro?

It is a collector's frame. Stainless Steel tubes and outrageous price.
You could have a custom Stainless frame built by someone like Carl Strong for about half the price.
The Cinelli is pretty, but its a showpiece for the company.

Two questions for you:
1. Is that a custom Pegoretti steel fork?
2. Where did you get the Pegoretti bar plugs?

The blue De Rosa is a great looking bike. Only comment would be that it would look even better with a silver seat post.
I never get tired of seeing that Cinelli.
The blue Gios - is it just the photo angle or is does that aero post have a long aero section? I have two Campag Record aero posts and the aero section is around 9 cm, while I have one Shimano 600 aero post and the section is a bit longer, like 10-11cms. That looks like a much longer aero section.
Personally I find just about every Pegoretti paint job I've ever seen to be extremely ugly. Nice bikes, but the paint kills me. I guess it is a love/hate situation.

Waterford builds with Reynolds 953 (stainless). I'm sure there are other makers and, as noted above, custom builders use it too.
