Oh, and the front rack on the Jamis----pure art.
Thanks for the compliments on the bikes, The Masi is in the process of coming out of retirement, I has so many spare parts that I decided to re-build it, but it is rebuilt with a ultegra double that came off the Eisentraut. It is also being built up with Shimano components.

The Cannondale is different, it has hydraulic rim brakes. I put platform pedals on it for the days that there is snow and ice melt.

Here's a couple of photos
first is the rebuild of the Masi, I just need to put on bar tape and adjust the derailleurs.
second is the N+½, I got this frame and will rebuild it this year.

I don't post a lot of photos so I hope these come out.

must be nice to have a Waterford frame 'just sitting around .... maybe I should do something with it."

it might not be the Philosopher's Stone or the Fountain of Youth .... but it's better than my best.

Ooh, the Waterford wasn't sitting around, I just received it a couple of days ago. The Masi was sitting around and I decided to rebuild it with some spare parts that I did have laying around.

40F matches my rule-of-thumb. I rarely ride unless the temp is predicted to reach that mark at sometime during the ride. The other checkpoint, at least during the cold months, is that the road should be clean and dry. No ice, no cold rain, no puddles of snow melt!

Here are a few of the Zullo. This bike is from the early 80's and it started with Campy Super Record. I changed out the right shifter and rear derailleur to an indexed Dura Ace and the Dura Ace seat post. I'm not sure what kind of photos you want to see and what details. It has been sitting on the trainer for the last couple of seasons, that's why there is a green tire on it. rear wheel has a phil wood freewheel hub on it, the matching front wheel is on one of my other bikes, I really like the phil wood hubs.

This year I have been going out if the high will be over 40F but I am fine with the wet roads and snow melt, I use some neoprene booties. Im just real careful about the ice.

Thanks for the photos @cyclist2000. Both interesting bikes. The head tube angle on the Z seems extreme. I will venture a Japanese Keiran? at the likely risk of being wrong. And the Eisentraut - I see no lugs; so, filet brazed?
I think my Ti might be too big for you.


Nice collection!


Don't know what state 'Up' is, but I know where a Yupper lives?

Wildwood, this Zullo is from 1984. Zullo's are made in Italy by Tiziano Zullo. In 1986 he made frames for the TVM racing team until 1992. Quite a few people have commented on the head tube angle, but it rides fine, not twitchy at all

The Eisentraut is an eBay find, apparently a bike shop was moving and they found it in their basement.

What size is your Ti bike?

My Avatar is Russell from the movie "Up". I am in Nebraska, for now.

Ti silky. Gears for big hills. Shares many tubes with the Extralight, as Excel was the Rockies Merlin sales house. Welded in e8ther MA or TN as this was about the time of the Merlin takeover by LiteSpeed.

That looks really nice. I like the welds on the head tube. That was one of the reasons that I got the cannonade. My only two aluminum bikes are the Cannondale and Tern. The Cannondale is a hybrid but is really a road bike with straight bars. I like the finish work that Cannondale has on their frames. Same thing for my steel bikes the lugged ones have nice clean lug work.
