Here is a Bianchi Volpe I owned a few years ago. It was good for commuting and hauling.

@Aubergine, thanks. Man, I agree so hard: indexing the front is dumb. The trouble is, how do we do it with a brifter? I think I'm going to try shifting on the right with a brifter and on the left with a down tube or bar-end shifter.
@ascherer, I think next week is a great time to start. Check out the forecast.

My 91 Mercian King of Mercia. I took the bottom picture when I was checking on 650b tire clearance in case I ever want to have the brake bosses moved. It takes 700x35’s with fenders.

3sp Hiawatha, primarily used to go the bakery. I think this may be from the 70s?

My Raleigh International. I have replaced the white cable housing with black since this picture was taken and put Suntour barend shifters in it.

Another few photos of my Malachite Green circa 1956 Royal Nord President. It now wears my older Apple Green B17 that lived on my Vaya for years.

Black, blue, and green are my favorite colors for bikes.

I'll admit an uninspiring photo of my '88 Voyager. 35mm tires make the ride very comfortable. Rear rack adjustment is a bit off, I've since removed it actually.
