Bikes: 2003 Spec. Epic, 200ish Bianchi Milano

Passed on a 1966 Raleigh Superbe for $160.
It would be a more "authentic" commuter for me, but frankly less efficient than my modern bike. Both have IGH, but 3 vs 8 speeds. Both have dynamo hubs and headlights, but incandescent vs. LED. Both have fenders, but metal vs lightweight plastic. Both have Brooks saddles, but mattress style vs a B-17. Just can't justify it. Functionally too close together. I probably should have done it anyway, ridden the Superbe and see if I liked it better than the Milano THEN chose which one to keep! IDIOT!
