Wow, Ray, I think you are getting better (if that's possible) with your photography!

I agree that "B" is really way cool and now I am even more certain that you should buy it! . BTW, was that stem non-anodized & you polished it or ?

as i posted a couple of days ago, i bought the Mod. B that eddie albert offered to the list about a month ago. i finished putting it together on christmas day, and now i have photos up on my website. the link is:

http://www.raydobbins.com/cinelli_b

i've also added a few other bikes to the gallery. they are:

- bianchi centenario - chrome & gold colnago super - colnago essamexico

if you want to see these, go to the main page (http://www.raydobbins.com) and scroll down - i've reorganized the gallery, and all bikes are now listed alphabetically.

btw, some of you eagle-eyes may notice that the wheels on the mod. b are the same wheels that i have in the masi photos. i swapped them with the small flange/martano bow-ties that came with the mod. b. the interesting thing about these martano's is that they have 2 concentric ridges running around the sidewalls. i had heard of martano's with "serrated" sidewalls - are these them? are they designed for riding in the rain? are they older, newer, or rarer than the regular sidewall bow-ties?

thanks and enjoy the pics.
