I recently dug out my camera to take photos of Mercier details relative to the recent thread. And I kept on going and took some photos of a few more of my bikes and posted them on flickr.
I also put on photos of a 1950s Raleigh track bike that I have since sold - selling was heart-wrenching because it is irreplaceable. Unfortunately, it was only gathering dust and didn't even get one outing a year and I believe that bikes are meant to be ridden. So it had to go because it would have been sacrilege to drill the fork crown for a brake and use it on the road. The original finish was still in quite good condition and it was a great ride - it has been round Herne Hill and Manchester Velodrome a few times but I used my Bianchi Pista for more serious stuff.
The bikes I have added, so you don't have to look if none of them are of interest, are:
circa 1961 Coppi Campionissimo frame 1978 Coppi - don't know what model, not top tier, but one of my best bikes to ride. Has anyone got any information on these bikes? It is refinished to original spec. 1984 Gazelle Amstel Beer, ex-Theunisse 1969 Holdsworth Professional, ex team circa 1955 Raleigh Track
The other photos already there were: 1963 Falcon San Remo Equipe frame (since sold - too small); 3 Mercier frame details; 1975 Peugeot PX10; 1976 Peugeot PY10; 1985 Peugeot PY10FC (OT !); 1978 Raleigh Team 753; circa 1951 Wolsit. I apologize for the poor quality of some of the photos taken in bright sunlight -- I shall retake them at some point.
