Late to this thread, but it's been very enjoyable to read.
Striving to limit the collection to a bakers dozen or less than the pairs of shoes by wife owns. Not making the former, under the latter, egads...
Most recent frequent riders:
1978 circa Medici Grand Turismo with matching Blumels and Silca pump, 80's Japanese components and a Brooks Pro. Daily commuter, nice stable machine.
1975 Alex Singer - Cupertino model now with virtually all French components except Phil hubs and BB. Beautiful bike, quick front end.
1962 circa Viking The 25 Model road/path for when I want to go single speed. It feels like steel - how to describe...
1969 Carleton Franco-Suisse with upright mustache shaped bars, townie, but all original Campagnolo NR and Weinmann engraved centerpulls. Sweet "achrilichrome" finish.
In the que: 71 Italian & 74 Carlesbad Masi's, 64 Hetchins Mountain King, 81 Eisentraut. Should be a fun Summer!
