Hound Dog

Well, this has been diverting attention from the PCar. I could never afford getting a PCar decked out just the way I wanted it, but it was nice to get a bike built just for me (complete with friction shifting, steel frame and a leather saddle for us old guys). It's not a Pcar, but I thought many of you would understand my excitement.

Here's a link to more photos if you're interested:

Full Boost

Nice!!

I have recently (ok 6 months agao ) done the same.

Cervelo Soloist with Full Dura Ace, Fulcrums and FSA K wing carbon bits...

Rinty

Beautiful.

I've been thinking about getting a special road bike; an older Italian classic like a Masi, or Gianni Motta.

Beautiful IF! Go ride it. Steel is amazing after riding carbon for so long. Sounds like you went custom all the way.

Now go visit Serotta.com/forum and go show off that beast! Similiar to rennlist and just as passionate.
