Does such naval gazing have soul? Hmm.

If you’re ever in Florida, bring those bikes out to one of Buttar.com’s races.

I would give it a great home and treat it like it should be treated. That bike is meant to be ridden so let me do it justice.

Most of my frames are around 60cm, but the Pinarello is a 58, I think.

You can see a picture of it
here

But I still don’t know if I want to sell that bike. Maybe; I’ll post about if if I decide to.

And, unlike most humans, bikes go to heaven when they die. There’s a special place reserved there for any well loved, reliable, sturdy, bullet proof, fast, slow, quirky, and treasured bicycles of days gone by. There might even be room for a carbon fiber frame or two.

My new Trek is dependable, efficient, smooth — kinda bland. My old Puch fixed-gear conversion has terrible brakes, the ugliest paint ever, and I love it.

Do you have any pictures. Let me know.

A Lespo Soltar.

Spent some time making sure it’s as solid as it looks and now it’s with the other bikes looking like a newly aqquired little brother.
