Yes! UNA is finished, took her to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, and a magazine called Pipeburn is about to publish the exclusive on her. I've already put quite a few miles on her and got caught in a rainstorm where she was caked with mud in every possible crevice... it might take me 1-2 years to get that bike looking shiny again.
Super proud of this project... watching that unconventional front end bounce up and down while riding is a true joy.. knowing you've designed something which actually works as intended.. priceless experience.
if i weren't getting married next week, i'd use this machine for nefarious purposes... but alas... ;-D

Off topic is my hobby of choice.

Wow , what a stunning bike!
Those pipes look great, maybe you can give us a set for the new RS.
Willier are great bikes, but if you love Italian maybe Pinarello is for you.

Definitely get Mooty's input on Italian bikes. I think he's been through enough of them to have a POV. The Wilier bikes look really cool. Don't see too many here though (which may be the attraction).
Have you looked at the Trek Domane SLR, specialized Roubaix or Pinarello K8-S? All have Versions of suspension for off road comfort.

I think the GAN-RS from Pinarello is a bit more upright than the F10. I would check out the Canyon bikes too. If I didnt get the F10, I'd be seriously looking at a Canyon. I think they are some of the best looking bikes personally!

It's funny about geo. I started to get serious with the Domane SLR which is very relaxed, upright and comfy. Rode it for several thousand miles before trying the Edmonda SLR which is race geo but not super aggressive. Learned to like that even better. Now on the Tarmac which is even more aggressive and find it even more comfortable on long rides than the Domane. It's like an E92 M3 now: too soft. Much like cars, our preferences change with more exposure. Just my experience and $.02

itrek and giants are both good but u need to ride
rh
theu rode different.
willier ss a mid level bike. for same money trek giant and specialized all
have bettwr products
canyon is very stiff and fast. the riders on them are either really bad or I don’t bother trying to catch them. on a 20 min climb they beat me by 3-4 minits
storck is good roo but its handlinf ka strsnge ro
me. the only one I know who
rode it happens to
ne cat2 riders so cant be that bad
geo first
handking next
my cipo rb1k was really fast and twitchy. I eventually figured it how to be fast on it. others complained to so
they recoded the buke
ur age matters too
as well as how many miles u do.

I love my Colnago C60 but not for everyone. I have the more relaxed of the 2 geometries. Many great bikes nowadays. Go ride some and you will get better idea. Trek and Specialized would be my picks but in Wisconsin everyone has a Trek for some reason (LOL). Had a specialized and just wanted to try something different.
