Bianchi was the first bike I built from a bare frame. It is the bike that started all of my madness.
LeMond was given to me by my uncle as my first “real” bike and was the bike I rode on my first Century. It is still one of my favorites.
Raleigh Supercourse was given to me by the same uncle as a birthday present...it was made the same year I was...1973.
Torpado was my first “lust” bike. I saw it online and had to have it. There was, and still is, something sexy about it.
Canopus was a bike I acquired from a friend of mine. It was not a lust, but it was something I REALLY wanted. And when the opportunity to buy it came up...I jumped on it.
