whoa....that looks excellent.
I have never ridden a better racing bike...
Your bike(s) - post picture here if there isn't a category
Dude, you have a serious nice stable of bikes.
I'm still riding the '96 CSI I bought from you two years ago. It now has S&S couplers and a new british racing green/cream panels paint job with a new 10 speed Centaur gruppo and Open Pros laced to White Industries hubs. Lovely ride still.
Keep it up!
Hey Darren,
SR11 put to good use.![]()

legacy
is that the boonen or the bettini model?
these bikes are great riding bikes.
darren,
please send this months lease payment...
It's hard to top Darren's or Simon's, but I'll toss mine in here too. Several things have changed since these pictures, but I haven't taken any new pictures.

KeithA, that's such a bitchin' classic set-up......reminded me of a picture I took in Oudenaarde of Museeuw's ride from Flanders....pretty much the exact same frame although he has some kitschy Vlaamse Leeuw motif painted on the headtube.
Keith,
THAT really IS a CLassic setup!! I love it!! :)
I'll post my black one up soon.... not as Classic as yours, but I'm happy with the setup.
Thanks for the kind words. My tastes tend to run in this direction, I like the standard OpenPros with Dura-Ace hubs -- never have to worry about truing them or not being able to get home if you break a spoke. I also like the classic round shape on my handlebars.
I am getting ready to make a few changes with a set of Dura-Ace 7850-SL's -- I have these my C-50 and like these wheels. I'll also be switching the cranks and levers to 7800 -- the derailleurs and brake calipers are already from the 7800 group.

funny thing about these frames and a big surprise to me.
i put michelin 25c tires on and there was enough room.
its on my old vxr and i use it to ride in the city.
big tires, lower pressue takes the hit out of the pot holes.
Currently for sale.

one of a few i own...
Looking forward to the blog - a few thoughts from someone with experience of both the traditional and newer styles of Time will be very enlightening.
