My old 79 LeTour IV (slightly modernized), sold it off a few months ago. My wife was getting a bit irritated with N+1, and it was getting hard to get the car in the garage, so, something had to go.

Late entry: Centurion Accordo, parts bin build, first test ride today



and formal shot



All good except for the weak rear derailleur spring, probably why it was in the parts bin .

My wife's uncle bought this Malvern Star new in 1938. He used it as a telegram delivery boy in the 1940's and rode it very regularly into his mid 70's.

I ride it now but only on a nice day down the local bike path. I will look after it and eventually pass it on to another family member.

It's the Holiday Season, so why not show all the red bikes snagged during 2015. Photos are as purchased, not even a wipedown! These are all the keepers. BTW, while red is hot, I have no particular fetish for it as a color.









Northroad bars conversion candidate! Hi tensile, bent rear rim, chrome no less.

85 Nishiki Riviera. Custom labeled shifting called SunTour RV which is just SunTour AR componentry relabeled RV for Riviera.
Double butted Tange Infinity tubing, shows handbuilt by Kawamura, really solid midlevel components.
Yet turkey levers. Odd.
