Bikes: 1962 Rudge Sports, 1971 Raleigh Super Course, 1971 Raleigh Pro Track, 1974 Raleigh International, 1975 Viscount Fixie, 1982 McLean, 1996 Lemond (Ti), 2002 Burley Zydeco tandem

My ideal size is 22" so I can ride a 23" easily. I will ride it to see how it is, but I currently have TWO super-nice road bikes. One is my pride-and-joy which was made in 1982 and I bought (as a raw frame) in 1984. It's a McLean. Not many were made, which makes it a collector's item, and the maker died suddenly at the age of 29.

The other is a Surly Cross Check which I built up only a month or two ago.

So the Fuji is nice, but not as nice as either of the others.

And since I've become a bike collector, I think it's important not to get too attached to too many bikes, right?

Yes, it appears to be a SunTour ARX. Is that not original?

It has some sort of SPD type pedal, so clearly they've been replaced. I think I'll keep the pedals. Not sure what I'll put on the bike.
