Chantal, who works in the Market, is from Michigan. The Toyo frame Dead Baby AZ traded in was a perfect fit (monetarily and size). Just so happened the fork that fit was this gorgeous yellow Colnago which matched the detail on the Toyo. We sent her rims off to SIK Werks for the match and Voila! A beauty was born. This Wednesday Chantal had parked on First and Pike. When she returned to her bike it was being scrutinized by an Italian gentleman who introduced himself as "Mr. Milani".

After ingesting my morning dose of Bikesnob NYC I decided to check our local PistaDex and found the end closer than I thought. I knew we had been building lots of road bikes at mobius...and I did declare this the "Year of the Road Bike". But now I know it's serious:

49cm Bianchi Pista Chrome. price reduced. argh. - $450 (belltown)

Of course, we all know as soon as Urban Outfitters sells one it's no longer "legit" cool.
