Awesome, I cannot wait to see it. What colour handlebar tape? I am getting a little bored of the white on mine, I was thinking a light purple might be cool...

I have yellow for it...

Oooh, I'm looking forward to this!

While I love my new carbon bike and new-ish relatively light steel bike, the slickest bikes to me are mid-to-late 1980s steel bikes with narrow tubes, low profile rims, and flashy colors. I just love them.

I'm lucky enough to have one in my stable, a 1990 Tommasini Diamante. It definitely is not light, not with all the chrome, but it's a joy to own and even better to ride. The fun part is that when I'm out riding it I'm just cruising, not worried about fitness, stamina, speed, etc. Every time I ride it I'm reminded why I'm a cyclist.

Do you still have this bike? It has been over 2 years now, put us out of our misery

Bumping this one (I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted to see how it turned out).

Had it half finished, then had to go overseas.

Will be completed when I get home!

Probable build list for this one Tinea?????

Errr...some time after I get back from Asia.

Which, as it stands, is August.

That frame is a beauty. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in August.

Come on Nick, you're back in Oz now aren't you?
Or are you trying to beat Gumgardner's, 'longest thread without a finished bike' title?

Mate of mine is picking her up today to finish it off.

Should be fully built by the end of the week!

And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.

I had one of these and sold it a few months ago having only ridden it a couple of times. It was the Columbus TSX model. I loved it but needed the cash.

I'm getting mega regret feelings looking at this thread!

Been dropped off to my mates place.

Should be done by the end of the week!

Holy crap TP, this is some serious anticipation. I want to see this thing in the Action! pictures thread.
