Ok, tag I'm it:-) I love hearing about other members and what they have, it is therapeutic or at least self affirming. Hi, my name is Mike Wilkinson and I am a Bikaholic.
10 bikes currently with 1 on the way. Mostly American made frames and all my size or close enough to enjoy.
1.) 1982 Mclean ~ Silk Hope with Campy Super Record. This would be my best overall fitting and riding bike. Favorite feature is the color, Firethorn Red is what Dale called it I think. It's a metallic rust color that just gleams in the sun!
2.) 1982 Trek 760 with Nuovo Record and Brooks saddle. I wish it was a tad longer in the top tube but this bike just feels great. Step on the gas and it goes! Favorite feature would be that Cinelli Bottom Bracket:)
3.) 2003 Rivendell Rambouillet with a collection of Simplex and TA and Suntour. Hey, this is what got me through 47 days of solo touring last year! Favorite feature would be the Brooks B17 narrow saddle that fit my skinny butt and kept the saddle sores away.
Other bikes in the stable are:
1980 Jim Redcay with Super Record and Omas sliding BB. My favorite feature would be the fastback seat stays.
198? Colnago Master with Super Record, pristine condition. Favorite feature would be those straight blade forks to look at and the shaped downtube. May consider selling the frame to pay for the new baby, see below.
19?? Holdsworth Path Racer fixed wheel/gear bike. Best fitting bike and a blast to ride! Had a Brooks Swallow saddle on it but swapped it with a Pro... Feature is the gear hanger braze on the rear track ends so I can run a straight block 5 speed:)
1997 Merckx Limited Genius with Chorus. Resprayed white with Moltini Orange headtube & old school decals. Up for sale soon, frame only. If interested it is 52cm and write me off list to discuss. Feature is the paint scheme which I think is rather nice:)
1974 Moulton MKIII Marathoner style. A fun bike and conversation piece but I hardly ride it:( Favorite feature is those tiny wheels and big chainring:)
1989 Ibis Avian SS MTB powder coated in 1991 and never pieced back together. Probably to be on ebay soon. 17", write me off list if interested.
1976 Masi Prestige with Super Record that I have taken apart again and is hanging. I love it, decals are in perfect condition but the paint quality was not great resulting is rust bubbling.
On the way??? A 1985 Glenn Erickson touring bike with like no miles on it:) I can't wait for her to get here!
