Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Does that make Andy the little Lebowski?

He does have this thing about rugs... and beverages.

The Yellow Bike

This caught my eye: "along with fender eyelets so if yinz use a 25mm tire you should have room for some skinny fenders for those wet days."

I thought this was a Pittsburgh thing, just curious if there's a connection I'm missing.

BTW, nice bike, too small for me :(

I noticed that as well...Steve...perhaps you can incorporate Yinz into the Cinghalie logo?

Just a little linguistic shout-out to my Pittsburgh fans...

Back in my warm, sweaty hands, rides like a dream:

I don’t drink coffee, but that bike makes me want to start...

Some updates, new items, "better" pricing - and forcing you to read my blog since 2007:
http://hampsten.blogspot.com/2020/10...0-edition.html

But, essentially:

We have two "new" models, some deletions, some reorg, and copious price updating for your spending convenience.

New stuff, Gran Paradiso and Maglia ROSA steel frames:

Il Barone replaces Minimus and La Dolce Vita in our lineup. We use a mix of 31.8mm and 35mm Columbus Omnicrom steel main tubes with varying wall thickness to suit the needs of each rider. This is our new flagship frame, pairs best with the Enve road fork, and takes up to a 28mm tire.

Levico is our tribute to the one-off steel frame Dario Pegoretti built for Hampsten Cycles as a 20th anniversary nod to Andy’s 1988 Giro win – including his TT win at Levico Therme. We take the rear end from Il Barone, add the welded front triangle – using traditionally-sized 28.6mm/31.8mm tubes – and steel fork from our Team Pro and it looks classic and rides great.

Pricing, generally, includes fork:

Carbon frame, rim brakes - $4000

Add disc brakes - $4200

Steel frame, rim brakes - $3200

Add disc brakes - $3300

Titanium frame, rim brakes - $4200

Add disc brakes - $4500

Look for current and future changes on the Maglia ROSA page as we shower attention of this marque in the months ahead.

Love the clean lines, Steve. Is that a custom made seatpost?

Easton post - sorry, it's packed already or I'd go see what model. But it seems good.

Oh wow! Super nice. Is this steel? What tubes? Columbus? Deddaccia? Something else?
