A picture of my new Felt SR71 That I have received at no cost! And my late 50s Garirdengo twin top bar bicycle together. Not much has changed in geometry...
 
I don't think the lightweight junkies have made it the CABE yet. Spread the word! Cool bike. I like the head badge!
 
Thanks for the reply, I guess your the only one that liked the bicycle. Super Rare

There's at least 2 of us, love the Girardengo, just don't watch the lightweights as closely as I do other parts of the CABE forum. Great bike & cool unique frame!!!!!
 
I also have a well-loved late-'50s Colnago that I recently recommissioned with new mudguards, rack, lighting, wheels and tyres. It's re-cabled also. The paint looks to be a pearl magenta originally, with gold lining. Most decals are in good shape...

It's since been finished off with Brooks tan handlebar leather and some strange German headlight converted to LED use...more photos later.
