Riding home through town on my mountain bike, I noticed the Campy sidepull brake and the unique orange color. I asked the rider's companion a few lengths back if his friend was on a Colnago. He didn't know, so I caught up and it was indeed a '70s Colnago. Since I had also owned one we talked. His jersey bore the name "Dinosaurs," and I found out he was meeting the annual "Dinosaur Ride" in Fairfax. I went along with him, and there were indeed a lot of old cyclists, many of them acquaintances, from the '70s and '80s. Was pleased to see old (in every sense of the word) friend Nick Farac-Ban, now in his '90s.
The machinery was classic, as one might imagine.

RB-3 riding the NYC subway. I chatted with the young fellow who didn’t seem to know much about it when I admired the build. Maybe his dad built it for him.

His dad shows him love in the very same way you show your son, with a brilliantly built purpose built bike.

Thank you for that, Tom. Alternatively, we build our kids bikes we would want! In Jacob's case, that is kind of true but he happens to like my taste in vintage bikes.

I spotted another steel frame Franklin branded bike on a group ride yesterday and in asking the owner MaryAnn about it, came to find out it's from a local builder near Columbus OH. Snapped a few pics and found some info on the brand through the search feature here on BF. Club buddie Ron & I have started riding with a group of mostly older riders in a neighboring town and it's a good opportunity for me to rotate in some of my steel frame bikes that don't get out as much on faster pace rides. That's my '85 Ironman in the background.

Parked outside the coffee house, an Ibis road bike converted to a "Townie." DT shifters, sidepull brakes, and a basket.

It’s been freshly powder coated and is being built into a single speed with a “flip/flop” hub but isn’t this a PX-10?
OH NO! I just now realized it’s been castrated So sad…
Let’s Dance! I also spotted these cute 👠! But do really want a “road” shoe?
