Bikes: Moseman with Campy NR circa 1979, Merlin Titanium from1993 with newly installed Campy Chorus 12, Raleigh Tamland II gravel grinder, Tommassini XFire with Campy Record


I’m a big fan of lugged steel racers, but in ‘93 I got the ti bug. “It’ll last forever” and it very well will. I am 69 so I doubt I’ll be in the market for another road bike. In March I debated buying something current but instead upgraded the old Campy Chorus to the new 12 speed, with new wheels. It wouldn’t have mattered. I love this bike and have from the day I bought it. It’s fast, forgiving, quiet, solid, light enough and has proved true...I’ve ridden it for 27 years! It’s an oddity among the carbon bikes around me, but I’m pulling the line as much as anyone. I love this bike!
