Bikes: 1959 Capo Modell Campagnolo; 1960 Capo Sieger (2); 1962 Carlton Franco Suisse; 1970 Peugeot UO-8; 1982 Bianchi Campione d'Italia; 1988 Schwinn Project KOM-10;

First bike, summer of 1962: 1950s Schwinn middleweight w/ 2-speed Bendix coaster hub controlled by a brake lever like shifter.
Second bike, December of same year: low-end Bianchi Corsa 10-speed, 26" wheels, Huret gear

What do I ride now? In addition to the vintage Capos and the Peugeot UO-8 transportation beater, a fat-tired Schwinn and a Bianchi road bike. I guess I have not evolved much.
