hi all i am new to this list but have been on the ibob list for awhile.i like this thread. i'm somewhat new to biking 2-3yrs. when i retired 2.5 years ago i was doing some indoor cycling at my gym and got very interested in spin classes. i got involved in a fitness leader programme and became a fitness instructor and now teach 2 spin classes a week. i thought that if i was doing indoor classes i better find out what it is like on the road. this lead to an obsession with older steel and lugged bikes. i currently have about 9, a 1970 super course, a 1988 miyata 914, a 1974 sekine (mint), a 1993 XO-3, a 1988 MB-4, a mid seventies appolo, a nisiki olympic, and a late sixties i think Crescent (swedish bike, tubulars, all campy stuff on it, low end, and a late seventies raleigh mixte, and this:
