9-mo has passed and after hitting a thrift store this past week and for only $30 I picked up a Ladies Campania that has a mix of early Shimano Dura Ace and Suntour GT components. The big thing about the bike is the 126mm spacing in the rear dropouts = CaCHING! components for my Prologue!!! The Campania has oddly enough CENTER-PULL Dura Ace brakes (like these: http://velobase.com/ListComponentGal...2-9bdbb110831f ).

The only thing standing in my way is my wife not knowing it's parked in the shed where I store the lawnmower (she wants me to get rid of a bunch of bikes). The Campania will have to go once I'm done stripping it of components. Looks like a decent ladies bike frame and has the plus of being made in Japan. So Happy! Also been working on motorizing a '96 Schwinn Cruiser Classic, <3'ing that motor kit, hating the tensioner (ripped out 2 12G spokes at the brass nut, bent a third spoke).

Need to set some priorities on my bikes though, keepers vs don't cares.

Keepers: 1977 Volare, 1987 Prologue, Klein Criterium, 1973 Schwinn Twinn Tandem Deluxe, 1996 Schwinn Cruiser Classic - Motorized, 19X9 Schwinn World Tourist, 2 - Mongoose Mountain Bikes, 1937 Elgin Mercury, Adult Banana Seat Bike, Peugeot Folding Bike, ...an oddly named frame to motorize (good dimensions)
Which means semi-non-keepers (but things I would like to keep) are: 1981 Ladies Schwinn Varsity, Ladies Mixte Motobecane, ...junk frameset with some components, 1961 Schwinn Lightliner, can probably go... though I would like to keep the varsity - rides smooth, mixte - just cool, junk frame - has spare brakes, etc, and lightliner - cool project to finish.

Sigh I want to keep them all, guess there really is no such thing as a don't care (even think that one I am going to strip the parts off of would be a good wall decoration, has front chromed lugs). Does the addiction ever end?
