Hmmm

My collection is modest but my desires are not

Pieced together a 80s Basso Columbus SL frame with a Super Record group I found on CampyOnly.com that I still consider my best score (very clean SR complete group including seatpost and built up wheelset w/Moskva 80 rims for ~250$ I forget the exact amount but that's max.) Only "problems" with that bike are the aluminum fork (couldn't find a good steel one), modern Record dual pivot brakes (I have the originals and I like to stop) and the shifting/braking modifications I have to do with all of my bikes to compensate for the lasting effects of my last motorcycle ride.

A clean Motobecane Gran Jubilee ca. 1978. Not real special, the earlier ones are better but it, or a similar year Grand Record, were the bike I wanted in the later 70s when all I could afford was a Nomade.

A Libertas acquired from Jack's Liquidation that is currently a fixie but I didn't hack it so it could be a derailleur bike in the future.

The early (ca 86) Cannondale I rode in college. Shimano 600EX mostly.

A modern LeMond Maillot Jaune (Reynolds 853 is nice) and my wife rides a modernish Colnago Master.

Wants: An early Merckx, not Falcon early, but one of his earlier products though that limited run of modern Molteni MX Leaders could sub. A 1970s Masi and on the esoteric side there was a 1930s Watsyn built 6 Day racer on eBay a few years back that looked great and went unbidded. If it reappears it'll get one bid anyhow. Also the idea of a 3Rensho with a complete Superbe group is appealing.

I'm sure there's others...
