Over forty victim of Fate
One that I picked up this spring... It's a '64 according to the date codes. I don't have a pic of the whole bike, so this will have to do...

Some really nice bikes here. This is my 1988 Panasonic MC1500 which is my commuter. Have cleaned up and all since this pic, but mostly the same.

We've got a few, but this is my favorite. Umberto Dei Imperiale Uomo. Yeah it is heavy, especially with a Sunday paper on the back. But once you get it moving...

1986 Schwinn Sierra in Black Chrome. This the closest thing I have to a black bike. I have owned it since it was new.

I see the rod brakes but where's the linkage for the rear? Some sort of bell crank at the tire pump??

A 1960s Bertin C 37 converted into a randonneuse. It's black, it's December and it has been shown before but not with these modifications.

Some odd artifacts from the iPhone portrait mode, but still a nice shot of my Sports.

I guess I have another black bike....Eddy Merckx 2000 Strada OS 20th Anniversary Edition - Campy 8 speed mixed. Just for information I threw 8 speed exa-drive cogs on to the 9-10 speed Mavic/Campy freehub, and because its made of steel, it actually works great, just need a 9/10 speed lockring.
