Fun to read about all this.

If the bicycle doesn't ride and function optimally for my intended use I really don't want it. And I swear from now on I need no redundancy!!

A vintage, mint, beautiful steel randonneur with the finest friction shifting gear is in the stable and will stay. This is the only bike allowed non-Campagnolo parts.

Besides that there are 2 vintage tube sets that pique my interest: 753 and Columbus MAX. I have 3 of the former and none of the latter. The goal is one of each, set up for everyday riding with the Campy ergo groups I already have.

There's also a hyper-functional modern Campagnolo equipped road bike in the garage.

I really love the pre-Corsa Record era of Campagnolo, for both historic, sentimental and mechanical reasons. But I don't need to ride these precious parts. In fact they give me the most enjoyment in a display case!! And this is where they will end up when I sell off the frame sets they hang on currently.
