Well, my heart skipped a beat when I saw each of these after my initial search. Upon closer examination, it sank. :)

I recently parted with my 80s columbus SL Pinarello. I loved that bike. I sold out for something newer made out of tubing that was "recently declassified by the government" to quote e-RICHIE. Some of us learn the hard and expensive way I guess. Ti frames are so outrageous in terms of price (frames like Spectrum and others of similar quality are exceptions.) It amazes me that I gave in and bought one.

Thanks, -chris

When I say "my size" 50-53cm is it. (In case any of you have anything in your stables, which might be of interest.)
