If you are equally happy with the way they each ride, then my highly idiosyncratic and opinion is to keep the following:
- '69.Pogliaghi - There just aren't that many of them around.
- '83 Colnago Superissimo - I'm a sucker for Sarroni red, even though I have never owned a bike that color.
- '67 Masi Special - Again, there just aren't than many of them around.
- For the last one, it's conditional. If you have or can get a proper wool Brooklyn jersey that fits, keep the '81 Gios (even if the jersey would be anachronistic for that year frame, it's still the coolest bike/jersey combo ever). If you don't have or can't get the jersey, keep the De Rosa.
And keep in mind, my opinion is worth exactly what you are paying for it.
I do have a Brooklyn wool jersey so that is a good point. Also a Bianchi wool jersey.
