Hmmm, I have 5 solo bikes, all vintage and fully functional. We have a tandem, vintage and fully functional. Finally, my wife has a solo bike, vintage and fully functional except that the wheels and tires are old and it has been on a trainer for a long time.
As to purpose, my 5 solo bikes are a tough puzzle. The Masi is the clear choice for long distance rides. The UO8 is equipped with lights and a rack for commuting and utility. The Bianchi and Raleigh are also good fast, long distance bikes. The Bertin? I'm not sure what to do with it.
None are for sale at this time.
