The Master Piu I think is earlier than 1992. I think '89 -'90.

What's the rear derailleur on the white Magni? Campagnolo Prestige?

That front hub on the Colnago is odd. Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at there?

Ahhhh, okay. On first look it appeared to be separate halves (left/right) joined in the center, which was baffling. And rightly so, now that I realize the darker portion is just a dust cap. Thanks for the link @P!N20.

That sure puts what I think of as my bike obsession into a different perspective. Also, I do not have high value items. I cannot afford it, and that is OK, and I want to ride what I have. Not judging or knocking a collection at all. I have seen some really impressive ones on BikeForums, including that one.

Respect!! I have to show my wife so I won't be judged for my measly collection. I will say that , although very nice , I would want to ride them. Then they would no longer look that nice. When I was into vintage Porsches there were some folks with lots of cash that had incredible cars ...... that they NEVER drove. They were for show only. I would have a hard time with that.

Those postings of that collection are all from 2012. I reckon the whole lot has been sold off for bitcoin at this point.

But remember pennies on the thousands of dollars to a collection of vintage F-1 cars. Vintage bikes at this level are masterpiece functional art you can enjoy by looking at, restoring and riding. It makes me smile each day I walk into my office and see them again.
Thanks for sharing.

Could be true, who knows.
Still fun to see the bikes and the attention to detail.
At any rate, it's snowing here again and it's time to fire up the Blackborow.
Can't sit inside and oogle bikes on the internet all day.
