Finally we got the Ventana in Greenville. It's been a nice process, thanks Adam from Richard Bikes for the work, I always feel the time spent building a bike is worth, especially if you plan to have it for then next 10 years ... or more.
And yes, I said 10 years, the Ibis Mojo it's been with me for 8 years now, and I don't plan to sell the bike, I will still ride it. Then I have my Cannonade F3000 ... my old machine, actually in Manresa, in "El Rey del Bages" territory, but planning to bring her home, to have all the family reunited :)
Lets talk about the Ventana ... OMG, what a bike, if I was freaking out with the pictures and the info on the different web sites, I have no words to describe how good it looks when you're close to the real bike.
The color, the color, the color ... OMG, this Sky Blue with metallic flakes it's just amazing, the details on the logos, the weldings, the drop-outs ... what to say, I need more time to analyze.
It's night in SC, and you know how much I love nights, when I have a coke with me because there is something worth to spend an hour in front of the computer ... do you remember?
Anyway ... some pictures, this is the new baby, the Ventana El Gordo ... here we go !!!!
Since 1988 ...
