Anyone still have a steel bike?

[eurperg]

My bike is far from spotless, in fact it has touch-up paint everywhere... But im not going to do a full restoration, some patina just adds to the character like you said.

Meanwhile, I updated the cranks on my Bottecchia:

Best looking cranks ever made! Looks great!

[Powerful Pete]

Are those C-Record?

[Wingnut]

Cranks look great...what bottom bracket did you use with it?

[eurperg]

Yes they're C-Record and Athena chainrings fit nicely without modifications. The BB is Centaur (111mm symmetrical axle). Chainline is the same as with Athena cranks.

Damn that's nice!

Beautiful Bottecchia!

Here's my Rychtarski 'Continental'.

Sweet bike! Very nice choice of color.

Steel is real! Though a 39/25 low gear is a bit stupid on these climbs...

Those seatstays are insane!

In another league, but I've just completed my daily commuter bike. Custom build by Antonio Taverna of Cicli Vetta from Padova...
