Bikes: Schwinn wrecked ol' Probe 1x2, 84 Bianchi Limited,Raleigh 20 folder,,Redline Conquest Pro,71-73 Gitane TdF,Gitane Grand Sport de Luxe,78 Raleigh Super Course

Looks like somewhere off the M1 motorway in England. not familiar with Kegworth.

They all look slightly deranged. My kind of nuts! Looks like a fun party to crash!

It's not a ten-speed, but a local fellow here races and does well in the masters category on his vintage six-speed Tommassini. It's set up with a downtube shifter on the left for the front derailer, and a bar-end shifter on the right, controlling the rear. He also races CX on an old touring bike converted to single speed, where he also frequently wins.

I used to race my shabby JC Higgins 3 speed against all the other neighbor kids, and pretty consistently beat their sorry butts.

Probably couldn't do it today, though.
