I own two Colnago Supers and three Bob Jacksons. Of the 208 bikes I have owned I have sold 175 but I still have all the Bob Jacksons and Colnagos, I have never sold one of these. My favorite bikes are a 1978 Super and a 1975 BJ. I have ridden a Confente and I did not like it, the Cinelli's I liked one and not the other and I own two I need to assemble so who knows. I found some Masi's rode great some not so great maybe it was the wheels?(I own two) You can rate a bike on mystique, on craftsmenship, on looks, ride or snob appeal whatever. If you like it great keep it this is the fun of bike collecting. I try them all and keep my favorites. Some have been heckled and years later praised by the same people becuase they are in or out of fashion. I prefer to try them all and separate the wheat from the chaff by my own standards no matter what the "experts" say. Brian in Berkeley
