Ves Mandaric's Post. This trumps all other bike porn. XXX Adults only

This is a report of Ves Mandaric’s Post in another thread. I just didn’t think it should be buried there. I want to put my tongue on the fourth picture and bury my face in it! (Bike’s are “She’s” like ships, right?)

"Record10,

“For your eyes only” Campagnolo eddition.

Get a a bottle of Gabbiano, some Pecorino and Prosciutto, and enjoy.

Very good call…that bike is pure lust.

Hmmm… just not feelin’ it…

I guess that is why there are so many religions for one dumb human race…not everyone gets the same thing…in this instance however…not getting it can be as serious as issues that have caused holy wars and holocausts…if you dont get it…that is a serious issue that you need to look into :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Interesting analogy… “holy wars and holocausts” were started by closed-minded peoples… a character trait that can often be applied to campagNOlofiles…

That bike looks awesome and nobody make a better bike then Ves, but I count 14 stickers and the pictures only show 1/2 the bike. I hope the final product has only a few stickers so the beauty of the bike can speak for itself.

Awesome looking, any photos of the full bike?

Nice to know that Mojomisery can always be relied upon to piss on someone’s parade, still!

ohhhhh helppp… i’mm melting…

OMFG, I think those pics made hair grow on my palms!

:slight_smile:

Sweet bike…and the color is sooooo NOT Bianchi celedon green.

Nice work, Ves.

Thanks, Monk.

:slight_smile: I was thinking the same thing. Actually fell for it once and went with all Campy Record on my Litespeed - nothing. Back to Shimano DA now. Maybe the Japanese and American stuff just “mixes” better, although I would be “open minded” and put a full DA complement on a Colnago C50 or Pinarello Dogma just to watch the roadies gasp in awe.

Because of all the parades it’s always entertaining here Julie…

“The bike has no soul… no soul man.”

I dunno, but could those welds be a bit cleaner?

I have to go along with greensneakers on the weld issue. They look bad and I can’t help but notice a very bad spot on the seat-stay weld.

That’s like saying Janine is inferior because she has a freckle on her balloon knot.

Those are great photos of a really exceptional bike. Beautiful. Thanks for putting them up. Got any of the entire bike? More… more…

you guys are nuts. that’s one of the nicest looking bikes (well, part of a bike) i’ve ever seen.

Are you really ok with a Campy edition bike having FSA chainrings – maybe even FSA cranks (couldn’t see in the picture). I don’t get that.

I dunno, but could those welds be a bit cleaner?
Maybe an engineer could chime in here, but I recall hearing that when building with aluminum, smoothed out welds, whether it’s from a second pass or filing, aren’t necessarily stronger than unsmoothed welds and actually can be weaker.
