They are sweet, but not a single quill stem? :p

Love the Pegorettis too, very special, the Luigino in particular (although I'm not into single-speed at all).

Nothing fancy, but it IS steel. Frame was given to me by a good friend, and I built it with Sram parts I had laying around.

Used as a commuter and the occasional long ride. Super comfortable

1985 Bridgestone 700

I was looking for my ever first racing bike for quite some time now.
A 1982 Peugeot PH12. This is very special, beceause it is the first bike with aerodynamik tubes and
internal cabelhousing. Peugeot made it to celebrate their 100jear jubilee. It was only made in 82.

sorry about posting it in here, but I believe i don't need a new topic, and the question is about a steel frame. But if the moderators think it should be a topic, feel free to move.

I got a cr-mo Colossi frame, brand new. Cheap, but damn nice. Straight and really well buit. Made with Columbus Zona, 54 top tube (wich by the way, is a bit small to me - I should use a 55,5 TT). Built with DA7800, wheels are DA hubs with a Mach1 rim (32 holes), Velo orange alu seatpost (with huge setback) and a Velo seat with titanium rails. 700X23 clinchers, butyl tubes and maxxis tires.

Anyway, the bike rides damn nice almost all the time, but it just jumps A LOT in the rear. If I run over some bad tarmac (wich we have lots here in Brazil) the thing acts like a freaking Kanguru. It's annoying me too damn much :cry:

any ideas on what cause this, and what I can try to do to fix it? The Zona tubing was suposed to be strong. By the way, since the frame is a bit small, I got a lot of seatpost showing. I run with 120 psi on the clinchers, as I weight 81kg. With my AL and carbon bikes, never felt this weird problem...

Thanks in advance and again, if I should make a topic for it, just tell me.
