Fun thread, nice bikes, great variation, broad interests......

For the past two years I ride one of my two KOF custom JP Weigles. I also continue to ride a 1984 Richard Sachs, but much less these days (although she is what I use everyday on my rollers during these rough winter days). Since acquiring the Weigle's (a delightful experience BTW), all my classics sit idle rendering them a collection versus a stable. I've slowly been selling down my collection, now at about 16 vintage bikes.

Melinda, my wife also rides a custom JP Weigle; her classic Bianchi sits idle now too.

The custom bikes have been a dream fulfilled; that said, this year I am ready to experience some of my classics again, the most fun ride actually being the least expensive - a Raysport SC. Next in line is my 1970 Peugeot PX10E.

I am quite fortunate.
