    Thankfully it's the spare bed :D

    The pedals on the Paddywagon are far too crass for this lady!

    If I don't get them tomorrow Raam, I may take you up on the offer!

    Lovely looking bike. The white bar tape looks the biz. Can empathise about the pedals. When I got my current steed I was sick as a dog with a stomach bug and couldn't ride it for a week.

    Yeah, I didn't think I'd like the white bar tape, or the white on the rear triangle, as well as the amount of graphics, but it looks much better in the flesh, and is sexy as hell!

    The oval section top tube is also awesome :cool:

    Nice bike. Haven't seem one of them around before. Where did you pick it up? Ceramica Panaria were riding those frames a while back. Looks like their colours too.

    My old mate ebay.... Got the frame and forks from chap in Italy, was a demo in a shop but was never sold or on the road, so picked me up a bargain!
    Frame was ridden by Panaria in 2004 - http://www.cyclingnews.com/teamtech04.php?id=tech/2004/probikes/panaria_battaglin2
    Not as light as a Scott CR1, but what is???? But I'm happy with 16lb at the moment!

    Absolutely beautiful bike!!! Just a note to say Stephen Roche rode a Battaglin in 1987 when winning his famous triple of Tour, Giro and Worlds. Played a big part on putting this stylish company in the spotlight. Enjoy.
