This thread is both interesting and timely.
I have not ridden my
Miele #17 for a few years and gave some thought to selling the frame set, after harvesting the parts. Problem is, that particular frame is one of very few made for Canadian athletes back in the 80s. I was pleased to find out that Miele #17 was actually built by Sante Pogliaghi. This information was shared with me from a fellow who also owns one of these bikes and he got his new.
Anyway, being unridden bothered me, so I did something about it on impulse about a week ago - I upgraded the bicycle. First time I have done something like this to an old bicycle but it sure seemed to work out OK. I love the bike again.
The question, of course, is what is it?
