Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Edit: I know, I know. I have gone through a LOT of bikes since joining BF. I do honestly believe I won't go skirt chasing anymore. (Caveat: unless the queues for Richard Sachs and Sacha White suddenly open up.)

Yeah right, until you catch a glimpse of Vanilla on the beach in the evening sun

I'll join into this one as well. An 80's something KHS John Howard signature model, Columbus SL in with all updated Campy. Rides super smooth, probably a paint job this year as it's pretty rough at the moment...

18.5 lbs



19 lbs, taken before the new wheels. Harris Cyclery hubs to Open Sport rims, built by me.

I also have a Miyata 610, but the pic doesn't seem to work. I work on that and post later.

I also have aluminum bikes, and have owned carbon. I sold it last year.

100% steel garage here...

Starting with 80's aero steel! My 86 Columbus Air Olmo. Powder coated and built with Ultegra 9 speed. The teardrop shaped tubing is really cool but impossible to photograph. My main road bike -



Vintage ride for lazy Sundays - my Bianchi Super Corsa with Croce' D'Aune group



Fixed gear Bareknuckle -



And last but not least the ugly duckling - Cross check commuter

Beautiful job on the Olmo my friend...Olmos are among my favorites including Benotto's and Zeus and Gazelles and Batavus...

As to the ugly duckling...ugly it ain't. Cluttered but a very clean and very respectable commuter - enough to make snobbish roadies take a look even though they might not admit to it.
