> I am inspired by these lists of incredible machines getting ridden regularly. I imagine many spotless workshops where meticulous maintenance is performed next to temperature and humidity controlled storage rooms. That is not my house, however. I tend to ride what is running the best at that moment:
> - The last Lemond Carbon frame before he and Trek got divorced, built with SRAM Red. I ride it occasionally and like it.
> - Salsa La Raza Steel with 9 speed Ultegra - bulletproof, nice riding and fun
> - Sobel KOF touring bike with 80's Deore XT that I make sure to ride a couple of times a year, for old times sake.
> - Petrie KOF Racer with Super Record and assorted - see Sobel
> - Takara that I've owned for over 30 years as a backup commuter
> - Gary Fisher 29er for my twice annual mountain bike rides
> - Raleigh Twenty non-folding 4-speed that I ride in the 4th of July parade (Thanks Andy!)
> and my absolute favorite that I ride most of my miles on, both commuting and pleasure, is a mid-70s Holdsworth that has been broken and rebuilt as a fixed gear, with a Sobel fork, 28 spokes wheels, fenders, BMX chainring and other unmatched parts. I believe it is a dogs breakfast, if I understand the term.
>
> By spring I expect to have another Sobel KOF built up with an extremely low mileage nuovo record group and sewups that was a bike I raced 25 years ago, a Lemond off-topic steel frame built up as a 3-speed fixed gear and hopefully the Zeus that Jerry and I have been sort of co-parenting.

> Regarding that incredible Zeus for sale on ebay: I would ride it. Not lots of miles, but I think the most beautiful bikes are those that have been ridden well and well cared for. Thank my lucky stars that Zeus doesn't fit me.

> My daily commuter alternates between a 1991 Koga Miyata Traveler (their expedition/full tourer model) and a 2005 Lemond Poprad. I'm also hoping to go touring with the Koga. My bad weather/rain commuter is a 1973 Raleigh International (I have fenders on it) and winter commuter is a 1990 Specialized Stumpjumper. I do use the 1973 Raleigh International for commuting in some other conditions as well, but have found the Poprad is more fun.

> My "I need to keep up, these guys are FAST" bike is a 1991 Merlin ti with 9sp DA STI. The 1991 Motorola Team Eddy Merckx (Steve Bauer) is a I feel like showing off bike. Casual rides were typically done on my De Rosa (sold) and will probably now be done on the 1984 Richard Sachs. I also have a 1978 Raleigh Professional in Team paint, full Campy SR, Brooks copper pro and brooks handle bar tape, that is sort of a Sunday ride I take out for tweed rides, vintage rides...etc. I really need to sell that bike since it gets so little use these days. I haven't really decided how to add the 1986 Team Miyata into the equation.
