Bikes: 72 Cilo Pacer, 72 Gitane GT, 72 Peugeot PX10, 73 Speedwell Ti,l, 75 Peugeot PR-10L, 80 Colnago Super, 81 Zinn, 85 ALAN Cross, 85 De Rosa Pro, 86 Look 753, 86 Look KG86, 89 Parkpre Team, 90 Parkpre Team MTB, 90 Merlin
No, some variance but also some overlap:
Road:
'86 Look Bernard Hinault: 2x7 friction, go-to bike for longer rides
'86 Look KG86: modern Campy Ergo drivetrain
'89 Parkpre Road: 2x7 Dura-Ace; this one goes "click"
'90 Merlin Ti: in-progress build with 2x7 Dura-Ace; likely foul weather road bike or fall back when I don't want to take Look BH.
'73 Speedwell Ti: 2x5 friction, eclectic period-correct build. Occasional fair weather rider.
Sport/Touring:
'72 Cilo Pacer: commuter & all-purpose around town bike, 531 frame & fork, mostly Campagnolo NR build with 2x5 friction drivetrain
'74 Nishiki Competition: Similar in purpose to the Cilo, except Japanese and heavier. Half-step gearing & bar-ends. Also only bike currently with fenders.
'74 Peugeot UE-8: fun, city/errand bike with period-correct Frenchy upgrades. Probably unnecessary, but I like it more than it's worth.
MTB:
'90 Parkpre MTB: Rigid with mostly vintage 3x7 Deore XT
Undecided:
'72 PX-10: Long-range project due to paint damage & rusted chrome. May either rebuilt as period-correct road bike (box checked already) or possibly a gravel grinder.
