When out for breakfast with a friend, I bumped into a fellow that I used to work with. He had mentioned to me that he had an old Bottecchia and wondered if I was interested. That was years ago, and I was surprised that he still had the bike. Chance put us together, just before he was going to take the bike to the landfill site. Anyway, I followed his Dodge pick-up to his place, had a look at the bike and expressed interest. We arrived at a price and that was that. And this is the first bike found/acquired for 2018...
As I was wheeling the bike to the car, he commented that it was lucky we hooked up, as he was going to take the bike to the dump later that day. Hmmm..? Wish he had mentioned that before negotiations:-(

Don't Recall If I Posted This Before, And Don't Care
Lemond Buenos Aires Reynolds 853 All Ultegra Components - $365 (Chapel Hill)
"2002 Lemond Buenos Aires. Great shape. 55cm. Reynolds 853 steel frame, hand built in the USA. Shimano Ultegra groupset, 3x9 drivetrain, with Ultegra cranks, shifters, cogs, derailleurs, and brakes. Recently tuned with brand new shifter and brake cables, new Shimano chain, and new bar tape. Front wheel is Bontrager Select and rear wheel is an Italian made FIR SRG 30 Apollo. Threadless Cane Creek headset. I think Lemond bikes prior to this year used the older threaded headsets."

Carlton Franco-Suisse
Interesting frame popped up on my Inoreader saved searches today. eBay says the seller doesn't ship to the US. Still, I noticed that the frame has done some travelling. I presume it was made in the UK. It has a "Dick's Bicycle Center, Boulder, CO" sticker, so it presumably spent part of its life in The Colonies. Now it's back in Bristol. It also has Cyclo dropouts. Not sure I've encountered them before.

Rather handsome World Voyageur. Needs to regain its original Dura-Ace rear deraulleur, non-aero brake levers and brake cable setup (ask the seller to take some photos of the stops - one might be broken), but the chrome looks to be in nice shape.
