A few vainqueur bikes have come my way over the years. For the most part, I would consider them to be entry level machines but please don't take that as a bad thing. Long ago,

I learned that just about any vintage road bicycle is a worthy candidate for restoration or just riding. Be prepared to refresh all grease cavities (bottom bracket, head set and wheel hubs) and replace such items as tires, cables, casings and brake pads. Once done, you will have a nice old road bike that will prove to be tons of fun to ride, but do not expect exceptional ride quality.

These days, I have just as much fun restoring an entry level steed...


....as I do a top dog in the vintage road bicycle kennel...
