Old and new

I'd like to see pictures of your old and new bike combos. I'll start with 2 of mine. The old is a 1983 Colnago Super. The new is a 2003 Colnago Dream. Both are Campy, of course.

Had the red one. I raced it for a local shop for three years. My brother's oldest son still rides it at college. God help that bike! Excellent pic though, thank you.

Ditto, mine would be old, or really old. And I have not settled on any one brand. Of the keeper bikes right now I have a Lotus, a Trek, a Univega and a Colnago. In the possible keeper category is a Schwinn.

I have no old bikes. "Old" is a term that was devised by people trying to justify buying new.

ilikebikes, did you modify the headbadge on that Madison, or have they revived that headbadge? Given the opaque blue color and chromed fork ends, I had trouble spotting the '2008' at first!
