My "collection" is mostly Raleigh. I wanted one Raleigh in each frame material, not each steel tubing type! I have an aluminum Technium, a Titanium SP1000, several steel frames from a gas pipe Sprite to a 72 International which I am hot rodding, and my latest an '09 Team Pro in carbon. Also in the Raleigh column is a cruiser style Hercules 3 spd and a 5 spd S-A IGH. My other area is pre-Bridgestone - I have several Kabuki Submariners, C. Itoh Submariners, and a Skway 3-speed. I am still looking for a Kabuki Diamond Formula. I also have one Peugeot being built as a rando bike. I have one Mountain bike - a Gary Fisher Big Sur bought at a police auction. I also have a Vitus 979 I will be building up soon with mostly Campy Nuovo record.
I like bikes that are interesting footnotes in bicycle technology. I avoid cookie cutter and popular stuff for some reason only my shrink knows about. I like having different brands and groupsets of components on my bikes. I like having different colors of bikes. I like to mix it up and have fun with it.
A few selections form my eclectical herd.
