Wow. That is absolutely stunning

Hi Brad Your father, Ron, has a great collection but I'm sad to say that he will never be able to sell anything given his attitude and asking price in my opinion (any many others that I have spoken to too) and if he does, you will end up paying for it three times over. I have been to Ron a number of times, and he refuses to sell any parts unless you are taking an entire batch of goods which makes it extremely uneconomical. With regards bikes, many of them have been refurbished or resprayed. Ron demands that you buy a few from him and they come at one hell of a hefty price. For instance, he wanted to sell me a damaged Alan frame for R15000. His argument is, he has the bikes, so he will dictate their pricing. He is however passionate about the sport, but that doesn't make me want to max out my credit card because he's a "nice guy". I for one would rather continue the treasure hunt and look elsewhere for these hidden gems we have all come to love.

Thanks bud. Been a lot of hard work, but certainly worth it. Hard to say, each bike has its own special quality. Its like having to choose which of your kids is your favourite. Yes, the one always has a booger or two hanging from its nose and yes, the other may be a complete pain in the bum, but you love them equally.

Im dying to ride the Eroica. I may have something up my sleeve . Just need to find a suitable groupset. I have a campy 8 speed Avanti groupset on an Olmo I built up. But don't really want to strip her down. Also feel that a Colnago needs something special, perhaps a record groupset. So the search continues.

Hi Guys, Iv been following this group for some time now and have never really had the the guts to post anything or share what iv been up to on my side. I absolutely love steel framed bikes and find the history and nostalgia behind the sport extremely enticing. I have ended up doing builds with newer groupsets, purely for functionality and the added gears. So to cut a long story short, here are some of my favorite builds. Feel free to comment or give any suggestions. Have a great weekend guys. Casati - Camagnolo Centure - Concorde (Nos Frame)- Campanolo Record Battaglin World Championship 87 - Campagnolo Chorus
