Which bikes are more important to come out of garage and into the house, the steel or the aluminum?

Hi Brent,
Thanks for the kind words...
Yes, I have my studio as my bike storage, it makes it quite nice when I need a break from design to be able to go and tinker a little. Clients always comment on the 2b's...bikes and boards!
Best, Ben

The Gran Sport, Super Course and the Italvega live in the dining room because they're the three I ride the most often. The rest are in the basement, lined up against a wall, Except for the Super Tourer, which is i the closet next to these three bikes (wheels off of course) That was the only frame I had problems with rust because of the areas where the chrome flaked off, so it needs to be babied. I also have a couple unbuilt frames in the basement, a Schwinn Volare and Bridgestone track frame.

My family thinks that I have sort of bicycle accumulation disorder, but you guys are at a whole new level. Thanks for making me feel somewhat normal. And time to start looking for another bike.

My Steel bikes lives in my garage while my carbon bikes are hung from the ceilng in our "den".....

I figure that I should keep the CF bikes in a more stable environment to make sure their bonded joints stay bonded.....

All good will, I picked up a bottom of the line Gitane tandem gratis and saw his brand new at the time Battaglin as well as all his other fine examples.

It was a great visit.
