2nd vintage ride in as many days
 

Took the Bianchi Strada out for a short spin this afternoon. good times.

For some of us, all our rides are vintage rides.

I wonder if my mid 90s everyday rider is vintage now. I will probably never leave steel.

I think you owe us better pictures of your bike(s).

I rode my 80's Nishiki yesterday.

I'm also in the middle of Frank Bento's Complete Guide to Upgrading your Bike and I'm beginning to understand why I get so tired riding this bike.

Also rode my 90 Trek 750 on Monday.

Can't wait for the thread on the third ride. Sitting on the edge of my seat!

Exercising Bikes I Haven't Ridden For Awhile
 

So far this month I've been lucky and gotten in 3 to 5 rides a week. I've been taking out some of my bikes that I haven't been on in a while.

The first two are tied for my Goldilocks bikes...

My all time favorite riding bike: 1988 Peugeot Biarittz - Super Vitus 980 frame with a mishmash of Shimano components.

My all time favorite handling bike: 1984 Gitane Super Corsa with a Super Vitus 983 frame and a mishmash of components.

Early 90's Colnago Technos Frankenbike

Early 80's DeRosa that I put together last fall - Columbus SLX, all Campy mishmash. This was one of my bucket list bikes. I would have preferred a flat top Fischer crown rather than the semi-sloping one on this frame but hey... The ride, well, in French it would be "je ne sais quoi"

Early 90's Gitane Team frame that I got from the UK. It had been raced by a sponsored team in France. Columbus ELOS frame with a mishmash of Shimano components. Handles wonderfully, rides like a truck! Last time I had it out was for a Fignon Memorial Ride - 61 was his number.
