Here is my earley nineties Battaglin. I have had it powder coated and put some stickers on it. Now need to have it lacquered and then build it back up. Not sure about the carbon forks, may get another set of nice shiney steel ones!

The fettling continues and the stays are in a sate of flux due to experiments with different tyre widths. My aim was to squeeze 700c x 30 ice tyres in there - but it is proving to be a bridge too far...

About to lay out £500 for a deposit on a Shand Skinnymalinky, my current N+1 target.
Considered going for a nice carbon bike but thought a quality steel road bike will always look great.
