Spotted both if these today. I know the owner of the Marinoni. I think the GT is abandoned.

Saw this Ace on a recent trip to Charleston, SC. Lots of nice mid-tier C&V in Charleston.

very cool frame with chrome socks front and back suntour GS drop outs and ugly couch hand painted floral. i asked some one working and they said the bike has toured the world!

this is a Carabela perpetration - "Windsor", likely ~1973-74.

It's nothing that special but I like the build - especially the mismatched bar tape.

I had a similar problem: While on my daily ride during a recent vacation I had to pass through a playground on my way to the bike path I follow. At 64 with a white beard that I haven't trimmed yet after almost three months and longish grey hair, wearing jeans and work boots I look rather frightning when the wind messes my hair. Parents were pulling their small children closer a I passed.

Oh yes! A very nice 60s Raleigh Superb frequents the bike path. Sorry, no pictures.

Just saw all of these during a quick walk around the block.

He changes the left side on odd numbered months and the right side on even numbered months.

In Toronto for 4 days and this was the first bike I saw. Raleigh Pro track. It's vintage bike insanity in that city.

De Benardi must have had local distributorship - I see a lot of them in town.

^That's a cool De Bernardi pista. I just don't like to see such nice bikes being subjected to potential dents, not to mention excessive paint damage.

Here's one we don't see stateside much, if at all.

I went out for a ride on the rail trail today, beautiful day with lots of people out riding. At a little coffee shop where people like to rest I spotted this cool 70's Gitane Professional Tour De France in the bike rack.

I was at a vintage bike jumble today, and outside I spotted this Vittorio randonneur. The owner walked up as I was taking this picture, and we had a nice chat. It appeared he likes to ride brevets, and implied the bike might actually be for sale. I did not dare ask his price. I was afraid it might actually be very reasonable, and I'd just spent quite a bit of money on parts ... :(

I very frequently spot this well-loved Look parked in the same location on 45th St.

A Dawes folder. I saw more of folding bikes than anything else--easy to carry on the tube:

Neal,

Re: the red Dawes Super Lightning - appreciate it's a long time ago and a bike you saw on the street in a foreign (to you) city - but; is that a 531 main tubes decal on the DT? (Interested as I have a similar but smaller frame of the same model with missing decals in need of new paint. It would be good to get it right :-) Thanks, Stuart

Oh, yeah, definitely it had a 531 transfer on the downtube; that's likely what caught my eye in the first place, and likely 3-main tubes straight gauge based on that transfer design. Stuart, perhaps that Dawes is still locked to that pole in London some five-and-a-half years later!

KonAaron Snake 10-13-14 03:19 PM

On a campus...

Any ideas what the frame is? Looks very nice!

No clue but I like it.

KonAaron Snake 10-13-14 03:34 PM

I do too - a lot. Looks like it was either stripped of paint or never painted. No derailleur hanger (sorry, no photos). No braze ons. Serial number on the seatstay, nds.
