A new bicycle has joined our family. I will be posting more details later, for now, here’s a teaser, taken in my garage tonight.

Any guesses as to what it is? I’ll give you a hint: yes, it’s steel.

Uh huh, I’ll bet it followed you home. Those pesky things. Can’t wait for more details.

Hmmm…brifters…
Must be a go-fast.

My guess is a Fuji touring bike. Could be a Long Haul Trucker though.

Chris: It’s a go-fast by my standards, but not some crazy racing rig.
John: Good guesses, but I already have a Surly Long Haul Trucker, and wanted something faster …

I’m going to guess that it’s a Surly Pacer. What did I win?

Bianchi Imola, possibly?

Barturtle: wow, you got it! How did you figure it out?

Well well, a go fast roadie. Should make for some interesting summer hammers.

LOL! I Win!!!
I went looking for a steel frame, non-compact geometry, with cable stops on the bottom of the top tube, Tiagra or better brifters, road calipers, triple crank, rear rack mounts in the tube as opposed to brazed on and curved fork. That’s the only one I came across.
