Fourteen bikes, not counting unbuilt frames. One is my wife's, one is my son's, and the other twelve are my addiction. I'm pleased to see how many of you have more than me; I can use the information when I buy another bike, and my wife gets that look...

Anyway, the favorite, hands down, is my 81 Hetchins Magnum Opus, red candy with blue trim and gold pinstriping. This is what I live for.

Second is any of my restoration jobs--so far, a 64 Carlton Catalina and a 59 Allegro. I've just about finished a 72 Hetchins Keyhole.

I have a couple Colnagos, the most interesting is a 1978 Super.

I also love my Austro Daimler. Not a bike that collectors swoon over, but maybe they should: deep maroon paint and gold hand pinstriping.
