First off is my 1976 Gazelle Champion Mondial. I bought the frame in Holland and assembled sort of a franken-bike with assorted components from the local bicycle shop. I recently changed a lot of stuff switching from 27x1-1/8/4 to 700C wheels. Still a very old and dear friend. I am planning on rebuilding the old campy hub wheels with silver 700C rims to look more like a period correct '70s bike.


I love old steel lugged bikes and of course am always on the lookout for N+1.


Second, is my 1993 Diamondback Topanga. It is what I call my Urban Assault Vehicle. It has street tires and is set up for city streets and MUPs. I can run errands do light shopping and general utility riding in addition to training rides.


Both very comfortable and suitably old school for my tastes.
