20 miles like it's nothing

This is the best bike I've ever owned.

edit: after doing some renewed research, it might be a Mario Confente frame. I guess he partnered with major brands and produced limited edition models. If that is the case, it was a partnership with Bianchi and Campagnolo

These bikes were great in the 70s-80s. Everything was standardized. Exactly one BB standard. Then the US manufacturers like Cannondale (crackn'fail) came along and enshittified bikes forever. I lost count of modern BB "standards".

Go to cycling forums and they will tell you aluminum will fail CATASTROPHICALLY (all caps), but they ignore aluminum parts, cranks, wheels on the road 40 years later.
