Wow! That is one impressive bevy of bikes. Wow. That said, I have been downsizing for some time now. At one time, I had over 180 vintage road bikes, ten percent of which were considered part of my collection. The rest were inventory and, pretty much up for sale. These are/were one inventory sale that went to Toronto a decade, or so ago...


Lately, actually for some time now, it has occurred to me that I cannot possibly ride all of my bikes and, quite frankly, some of them did not even appeal to me (tastes and purpose can change over time (trust me on this one). So, in the past couple of years, I have been trying to get my stable down to four bikes and even that is, probably too many. That said...

At the moment, my stable includes: Legnano Gran Premio (in restoration process now and a keeper), Trek 2200 SL (project/keeper?), Cambio Rino 400 (project/keeper?), Specialized Sirrus (built and sold), Marinoni Record (keeper?), Marinoni Special (keeper?), Gardin 400 (build/sell?), Peugeot mtn bike (a keeper), Velo Sport Aero Supreme (harvest group sold), Velo Sport Prestige (my new Jamaica bike)..,





and this just found/bought Miyata Team Miyata (definite keeper - probably), even though it puts me at five, not four keepers...


And, the following are still, very poorly stored, in my man cave (and it really is a cave, with rock outcroppings and all): Raleigh Super Grand Prix, Carlton Grand Prix, Bianchi something or other, That said, just an hour or two ago, a young lady and her mother (the mother is my age) stopped by my lake cottage. We got to talking and she offered me a Miyata 916 or something like that. Good grief I can't wait to see/get it. I'm ill.
