Okay, I know this doesn't really give one much of a good look at the bike, being obscured by snow and all:

Plus, it's just a contact, so it's not sharp.

I have to say, though, I was really impressed with how the LX handled the exposure.

Anyway, it's a Rossin track bike. Deodaccia (sp?) aluminium aero tubing (you can't see the big fat down tube, heavily ovalized, with all the snow). Next time I clean it (it's quite muddy now), I'll have to get some proper pics of it. Obviously, that wasn't so much a pic of the bike, as it was a pic of snow on a bike.

It's a beauty, though. I thought I'd hate aluminium, but this one's not bad at all. Not too harsh (maybe the steel fork helps, and it does have a slightly longer wheelbase than my last steel track bike), but it is STIFF. No flex in the BB when you stand.

But I digress.

cheers,
frank

Sadly, nothing bigger than a contact print.

I'll dig up a contact, and scan it. It's a beautiful bike (IMHO).
