Subject: [CR]What's in your garage?

I have enjoyed reading the postings on this thread so much I just had to jump in. I am kind of hoping that some computer whiz among us will put these postings up on a web site, perhaps with some links or pics. Here is my humble stable of the moment.

2002 Richard Sachs 25th Anniversary Edition Replica set up with Record triple and the best riding bike I have ever been on. Richard Sachs red & white. I still thank Nick Z. for this one!

'81 Masi Gran Criterium hot rodded up with an indexing C Record group and lovely high flange hubs. This is the bike I usually grab to ride for some reason I can't entirely explain...it's just a fun bike to ride. Cornflower blue with yellow inserts.

'91 Brian Baylis...purple with chrome lugs...almost too pretty to ride. Set up with my beloved C Record and those hard to resist hi-flange hubs, again.

'79 J.P. Weigle Sports Tourer. Beautiful too look at, but a touch small for me. Many unique features, such as a Kilroy face on the top of the bottom bracket shell. Never thought I'd like a brown color, but this is a very dark gold or root beer depending on the light and I sure like it. The half step gearing continues to intrigue me.

'80s Assenmacher Tourer, a work in progress, but very ornate and there is some real potential here. Two toned blue with Nervex gold lined lugs and chrome tips and stays.

'90s Ritchie Swiss Cross Cyclocross bike. Full Record triple, Chris King headset, custom red and white fade paint, probably too much invested for a bike to ride in the dirt, but I love it. Currently set up with fenders and platform pedals as a Winter bike. Off topic, but great fun!

Masi 3V all packed up and leaving any day now and an old Trek parts bike that I may use as a prominently unlocked "decoy" in front of the rest, in case of intrusion. I am working hard on having less of them, but higher end. Still looking for that elusive Art Stump and Richard Moon and perhaps a Wizard. Bikes have really been moving in and out in the last year.
