1962 Carlton with (OEM??) Swallow. I may swap with my 1973 Brooks Pro (40K miles, still serviceable), and put the Swallow on the newest Capo Sieger frameset.


1959 Capo with Nervar Star crank and Campag. 980 derailleur upgrades and new maroon(!) Brooks Pro saddle.

1973 Brooks Pro on the 1959 Capo. Still serviceable, plan to put on a different bike. Campag. crankset shown -- replaced w/ Nervar after left Campag. crank cracked along the spindle eye.

1960 Capo Sieger with original Ideale saddle

I also have a large rivet ca. 1990 Brooks Team Pro on the mountain bike -- still going strong, perhaps my favorite of the four Brooks I own.
