Does this count as retro?

Your poor @rse must be 3 feet higher than your shoulders. :shock:

It says that it's some sort of Franck Romain(?) limited edition on the top tube...

As for my a**e and my shoulders...well, when I was racing I was known for having an exceptionally aero position. my back actually sloped downhill...I'd like to be able to say that I worked hard at it, a la Boardman, stretching, strengthening etc, but in truth it came very easily and naturally, even today as a fat bloke I'm nonsensically flexible! And because I rode in such a position from aged 8 to when I had to retire through injury anything else just feels inescapably wrong, even when I've got a gut getting in the way! And I am tall, 6'5", so even though I have longer legs than average for my height, I guess I have a fairly long torso and arms too...I'll attach a pic to show the road bike set up...

Nice Cannondale, loving the colour.

LOVE the Colnago, please remind me of the name of those wheels, they look like the model above the Vento's I have on my Pennine :?

Yes, they are Shamals...I built this one with a full 8 speed Record Titanium group. The only 'wrong' thing in the picture are the SGR pedals, but I've now found and fitted a correct pair of Record 'looks'. The SGR's are on the 'bay in case anyone is after some...
