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

IDK what it's origin is. I've been told it could possibly be a designer frame, like the engineer got to make it. Nobody can tell for sure except it's got peek 1980s form to it. I received it as a gift from a widow and the original owner was a big cycling enthusiastic guy. My bike got stolen and my sister knew her. I was given a choice between this and a total carbon fiber monster but I thought it was absolutely too valuable and this one was the humble choice. Come to find, I probably picked the one with the most value. Multiple bike shops tell me to insure it at $5k because it might be one of a kind

What a great story, and it sounds like the bike has gone to a very appreciative cyclist! Beautiful machine.
