Mercxissimo

You can't keep them all.

I wont have the bike forever, but I always have the memories.

This was a special bike.

It has had a few incarnations, with Campagnolo Shamals, Pistas and eventually the NOS C Record wheels.

Pista bars, Campione Del Mondo and eventually Criteriums.

It has won the odd A grade club track race, alleycats, ridden the Red Bull mini-drome and been drooled over more than any other bike I've had. 

I put it down to the Red paint and chrome.  Simple, elegant and fast.

It is also rare as rocking horse manure to find a frame in my size, my favourite tubeset, in good condition, by my favourite builder.

Thanks for the memories.

Thanks to Special 'K' for posing with Eddy.
