parting with an old well-loved vbicycle is like losing a very close friend.
I have a number of 1980s vintage MIELE bicycles (hence my handle) and I love every one of them. We've travelled great distances together and seen many interesting sights and sites. A couple of them that I don't ride that often are now wall art. One Columbus SL frame has Shimano 600 Arabesque on it.
The one bicycle I truly regret selling was my Velo Sport Team Issue (Bloor Cycles Racing Team used them) with a complete Shimano Dura Ace AX groupset including the handlebars, stem, seatpost and aero watter bottle. I'd love to get a bicycle just like it again.
Cheers
