Hi purevl,

The grey cylinder is a tyre inflator. The Italian Campionissimo, Fausto Coppi, had one on his Bianchi when he won the world championship at Lugano in 1953. As my Bianchi is of a similar vintage, I decided to set it up as a bit of a tribute to Fausto. The number is the same and the tyre inflator is in a similar position (but I have a frame pump as a back-up). Fausto's was a red cylinder but i've only seen one in real life - and I wasn't able to buy it.

...and the track bike. It's an Aussie built Beretto. Great bike to ride and everything's early 80's aero.

I simply love boardtrackfan's collection. Really good fun. Outstanding.
