Could be a racer, but it’s much too smooth.

A true racer

My 1983 Trek 760 with a few upgraded Campy parts that I've owned since 1983.


The early 90's De Rosa SLX that I've dialed back with some late 80's Campy C-Record parts. I picked it up off Craigslist. It was sold 90% complete and I completed it the way I wanted it. I have C-Record Aero pedals ready to install on it.


A 2009 Custom Waterford 22 Series single-speed that I picked up off EBay last year to celebrate my 60th birthday.......but I forgot that I had picked up the 90's De Rosa earlier in the year to celebrate my 60th. LOL.

Early '60's P.Peschi - it gets ridden a few times a year and always a nice ride. Would like to go from the current 25mm tubulars to 30 mm one day just to make it that much more comfortable.

This is one of the bikes I rescued from the recyclers in Toronto.
If I didn't purchase it for $15 it would have likely been shipped to Africa.
It still made it to a warm place; Jamaica, my winter home.
It's really "blue ish" 😎

That Peschi is beautiful! I'm envious.

My custom Curtlo Soft-tail, had it since 2009. I wanted a 650b mtb but the off the rack choices were scarce. This was back when there were only a couple choices in tires and forks. I love the way this bike handles, though even with the 1" of rear travel, it kinda beats me up these days. I don't ride it as often as I used to which is a shame, it's a great little bike.
