In the thread, the guy claims to do 20 000 km a year with his collection. Given the amount of bicycles at his disposal, this probably means less than a thousand per bike a year.

What did I just buy? A '90s Colnago

Hi all,

I'm on a holiday trip in Spain. I figured that because of the length of my stay here it's probably more economical to just buy a second-hand road bike instead of renting one. So, I found...

My bicycles tend to communicate the error codes via mechanical noises and, if the error is severe enough, tactile feedback. The flat tire alarm could be a lot more subtle.
