When I first got into riding, the first "nice" bike I bought was a 1984 Torpado Super Strada wearing all its original things...except for the Regina Oro freewheel. When I bought it, I didn't know what size bike fit me...and because of that...it didn't. It was small and I could never get it to be comfortable. I changed it to be a "townie" style and that is where it has stayed. I have never gotten rid of it because I REALLY like the way it looks and it was the bike that I sold my basses for.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago...where a 1985 Torpado Super Strada frame/fork came up for sale here...on my size...so I bought it. I built it up with some modern parts from another bike I had. It has become my favorite and most comfortable ride. A definite keeper.

Now here is where I need help...I am confused with what I should do with the smaller one.

A. Should I strip her of all of her original parts and store them away for a day that I return the '85 to her original glory? Then sell the F/F of the '84?

B. Should I sell the '84 as a complete bike?

C. Should I keep them both.

Of these, I am probably leaning towards the first option...
