Since the subject of blue Bartalis has arisen and most likely never will
again here, I'd like to share some photos of mine. My Bartali appears to be
of French manufacture with metric 531 and French threading. A little quick
steering compared to my Cinelli, and doesn't "disappear beneath me" like
that bike, but still a very fun bike to ride and it frequently gets admirin
g
looks and comments from bikies and non-bikies alike. And unlike my Speciale
Corsa, I need never worry about seeing another one even at a gathering of
classic bikes. Beyond rare in the US- I like that.

Bidding has already ended on the blue Bartali, but still worth a look:
