Yes it was glorious wasn't it Jerry? Friends and vintage bikes... it hardly gets better than that! (Yeah, I know; don't _go_ there girlfriend).
The only bikes that I can remember: a Gitane, a Schwinn, a Motobecane, and an amazingly original Kogo Miyata full-on aero tube frame with the complete Shimano AX aero group (yo Kelly); let's hear it for DD (Dyna Drive) pedals and aero frame-fit pump!
Till next month (hmmm, maybe the '39 Bianchi?),
