You get to keep one, the question asked is, which one...

In a thread on the For Sale forum, I was asked which of my bikes I would keep, if I could keep only one. That would be a tough choice for me. My guess is that it would be difficult for almost any of us. Anyway, my little stable and you are welcome to help me make a choice of which one (nope, two) of the seven, I should keep...

1958 Rabeneick 120d, my present restoration project and my oldest bike (I am most interested in older bikes, these days)...


1968 Legnano Grand Premio (presently being fitted with Legnano high flange hubs, tubular wheels and a Legnano head set)...


1969 Atala Professional (this is the one I am riding now)...


1970 Torpado Luxe (all chrome, rides nice but mostly wall art on display at a local bike shop)...


1973 Peugeot PX10E (sort of a gift, from a fellow in Seattle and a bike that screams vintage appeal)...


1982 Bianchi Touring (kept in Jamaica for my winter rides, which is why I cannot drop to just one)...


My Cyclops (the only Canadian steed and the newest best riding bike in my humble stable)...


There was a time when I had close to twenty nice bikes, in my collection. Some of them were incredible, such as this Gardin Anniversary, but most of them have gone the way of the Gardin...


Basically, I guess that I am a bit fickle. Why fickle? Because, invariably, my most recent acquisition immediately becomes my favorite. Bought this yesterday (building it for a fellow who will be riding it in the Spanish Erocia) ...
