After a short but undistinguished racing career, my old race Legnano hung on the garage wall till I turned 50 in 2000. 7 or 8 bikes later I'm 69, and have never thought about a last bike. The old Legnano was my first real bike, still have it, and know that it will be among my "last" whenever that is. I still have 5 plus the trusty Legnano.
Me on the right, about 1965. First real bike.
