Bikes: A few

As having seen a good portion of these in person I would have to say the Rossin or the later Merckx pro. Oh wait did I pick the two bikes that I haven't seen in person that I know are at your current locale? Yes, I believe I did! I won't give my "I have all these fine Italian SR equipped bikes I don't know what to do". Oh, wait I did that too. Good to here that you found your holy grail, the De Rosa Primato.

I could stroke your ego more OBG, but it will cost $5.

Do you drive a Corvette or a Porche 911. I need to know to make my decision.

Interesting opinions. Not one person thought the full panto'ed Merckx should go, and that was the one I was leaning towards. The most votes went to sell the Rossin, which is really an exceptional bike in a lot of ways, and very different from the Merckx/De Rosa fleet.

For the time being I am going to keep them all, and see if I can continue to justify having that many. I may reshuffle the line up, as far as what bike lives in Michigan and which gets to live in Arizona.

I have a feeling that at least some spare parts and wheels will be shed very soon.
