80's Night!
I was doing a little garage cleanup, shuffling things around today. Ended up with this...
Then it occurred to me... I only need a few more to have the 80's decade covered
Not shown are 1982 Schwinn Superior and 1989ish Faggin. Shown are '85 and '87 Cannondales, '85 and '86 Peugeots, mid 80's Miyata.
There are some around here who think there's something wrong with me.

That is a nice little collection of machines you have there! My collection is more limited but I've got an 85 Schwinn World Sport and 84 Davidson Tandem... No pictures of the Schwinn, but here's one of the Davidson.

Well, thanks! That was an eBay find. I put the Brooks saddles and fenders on it and retaped the bars with Cinelli corky tape. The bike puts a smile on my face every time I look at it.

You are planning to post the pics after you take them I hope. I'd like to see how it turned out.
