Wonderful collection of Merckx's. Do you have one that you prefer to ride over the others? Thanks for sharing them with us.

You do have too many bikes. I like riding my bikes. I don't like the fact that the four of them have formed the basis for a mini-collection. Bicycles are great for riding. They have zero collectible bling factor for me. Less than zero. They are actually somewhat annoying.

Selective annoyance is another component to Pcad Cycling Zen.

Really prejudiced against black bar tape aren't you? What's up with that?? 
Nice collection. So your name IS an accurate description.

I will be happy to provide better shots when I can figure out how to get better shots uploaded.
Honestly - black bar tape just leaves me cold - does nothing for me, white on the other hand ......
On the garage door - if you think I am trading a solid cedar garage door for a white press-board one .................................... ********************
That OCP I ain't..
