Bikes: 2 many 2 fit here

Similar, but different...
- 2 fair weather commuter bikes, a main and a backup
- 2 foul weather commuter bikes, a main and a backup
- 2 pleasure bikes, a main and a backup
- 1 nostalgic bike from my youth (still in the overhaul process)

All drop bar steel frame bikes from mid-70s to late 80s, gearing originally 2x5 or 2x6, now 2x6 or 3x6
Main differences are in presence or absence of racks & fenders; and strength & weight of rims; consequently all up weight as well.

Not included above are my 2 modern big box store vacation (drop bar 3x7) bikes located with family remote from me, and a guest ladies' mountain bike just in case I ever have another female guest.
