This Fondriest bike has been my loyal companion for more than 21 years. I nicknamed it 'giallorossa' for its colours (it means 'red and yellow' in Italian) which are also the colours of my favourite soccer team, AS Roma. This bike is now in Italy and I keep using it during my summer holidays over there. It is still a great bike and I changed just a few components from the day I bought it.

Io ce l'ho messa tutta per iniziare a perdere peso, ma alla fine della manifestazione c'erano quelli dell'Algida (qui chiamata Street) che davano gelati gratis :) After a long period of inactivity due to my back issues and with a 15 kg "excess baggage", I challenged myself with this charity  bike ride . Eddy and Niall, my collegues, joined me in this 30 km adventure. It has been really strange riding on the freeway together with other 8000 people! I tryed all my best to loose some weight during the ride. However, at the end of the race the ice cream company called Street (one of the sponsors) was giving ice creams away and I could...
