old italian steed

check out my new ride. its a late 70's Torpado road frame (hecho en italia ofcourse!) that i came across real cheap. its in pretty decent shape considering its probably 25 years old atleast. i built it up with parts from what i had lying around, the wheels are borrowed from my bianchi. i took the pics last friday when we had GREAT weather, it got up to like 60 degrees that day! but now.. we have snow. thats nebraska weather for ya.

more aussie stuff.

some pics from a recent critcal mass ride in melbourne. check out the cfsmtb blog to see what them aussie bikers are up to. meanwhile i'm enduring another cold icey nebraska winter.
