Three steel bikes - three continents of manufacture - three colleagues at the end of a busy summer day at a now-defunct bike shop on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, BC.

I knew the bike on the far right before I saw the BF handle (I was scrolling up from the bottom) :)

Come April 22 and you'll have had it an even decade. Glad to see you still have it and are using it as intended.

Wow, that long! I hadn't realized.
I only have one bike I've owned longer, the '85 Nishiki Prestige I bought as a frame set in 2009 or 2010 and built up after moving to Vancouver from Montréal.
That Mercian is a keeper - great fit and a bike that just feels special to ride.
And the only bike I have with period-correct full Campagnolo group (minus the Modolo Pro levers I subbed for the ugly Dia Compes on there when I bought it).
Bike is now also sporting '84 date code Brooks Pro (matching year of frame manufacture), thanks to a purchase from Rootboy on the Forum here a few years ago.
Thanks for the reminder that an anniversary of sorts approaches, Jeff! Wouldn't have happened in the first place without your assistance.

The River is a constant companion on my cycling adventures.

I ride the trails that follow it, or my planned destination is usually along its banks -
Be it the mighty Mississippi, the mellow Minnesota, or the scenic Saint Croix River
I am never far from their slow-flowing waters
They bring me Peace
