I've not been adding to the small group for the last couple of years until a year ago when I acquired a frame set from a fellow BF'r. Built it up this last spring and did some riding on it. Not a good year of riding for me. This is my favorite at the moment. I guess I could call this my Birthday present for my 70th.

Finally found fenders that fit my SuperX, so no more mud strip up my back.

Took delivery of a ‘new’ 1980 bike.
i seldom acquire a rideable bike.
US builder, a custom for original owner and will do very well for me. Maybe a slightly longer stem. Half step and a granny compliments Stronglight and the Galli gold is an ‘I’ catcher, had to have it.

Current rides:
Mountain bike - fully rigid 29+ Vassago Moosknuckle ti with XTR 12
Road bike: recently acquired and built Eddy Merckx Corsa-01 with 9sp Record.
I’ve got the extremes covered..... now time for a commuter-type bike or gravel grinder 😎

Wish my spares inventory contained the components to rebuilt with NOS original equipment. Era appropriate as a minimum, whenever possible. But 'Concession' is often my middle name, for the sake of expediency as my years to ride declines.
Does H Plus Son even make a tubular?

My only acquisition for this last year was a late 80's custom Rodriquez. The build on it is unique - I would call it a fast commuter. Mid-fork mounts for a rack but no eyelets, etc. on the drop outs. Once I got it sorted out I found it to be a comfortable ride.

Turned 60 this month, so I guess that means I'm old. How to tell if you are young or old: if you fall and people laugh, you are young, it someone rushes over to help you up and asks if you are OK, you are old. My doctor said I needed more fiber so I bought a Synapse Carbon 105. This will be my primary bike this year.

TriAero carbon fiber frameset (ICAN) with Boyd carbon clinchers, Ritchey aero bars with internal wiring for Shimano Ultegra Di2 system. Garmin 830 with Varia radar, integrated Bontrager Flare lights front and rear, and a Rylo 360 degree video camera mounted to the left hand handlebar end.
The radar, lights, and 360 camera are a result of being struck from behind by a car two years ago. 12 stitches in my left arm, some serious road rash, a chunk taken out of my knee, but the helmet saved me. Oh, yeah, the lawsuit settlement paid for the new bike. At 68 with a bad knee and 2 heart stents, I tell my riding friends it's like a Ferrari powered by a lawn mower engine.
