Riding home through town on my mountain bike, I noticed the Campy sidepull brake and the unique orange color. I asked the rider's companion a few lengths back if his friend was on a Colnago. He didn't know, so I caught up and it was indeed a '70s Colnago. Since I had also owned one we talked. His jersey bore the name "Dinosaurs," and I found out he was meeting the annual "Dinosaur Ride" in Fairfax. I went along with him, and there were indeed a lot of old cyclists, many of them acquaintances, from the '70s and '80s. Was pleased to see old (in every sense of the word) friend Nick Farac-Ban, now in his '90s.
The machinery was classic, as one might imagine.

RB-3 riding the NYC subway. I chatted with the young fellow who didn’t seem to know much about it when I admired the build. Maybe his dad built it for him.

His dad shows him love in the very same way you show your son, with a brilliantly built purpose built bike.

Thank you for that, Tom. Alternatively, we build our kids bikes we would want! In Jacob's case, that is kind of true but he happens to like my taste in vintage bikes.
