LeTurbo Posted August 13, 2010 Share Waynedude and Heartcoppi, you both have just too many nice parts lying around - this annoys me intensely, and I think you should both assuage my anger by passing them this way. I'm pissed off today: a truck klapped my rear Vento last night and it's got a bit of a wobble now. I'll have to see whether it can be repaired tomorrow. Aaaaaaaaaargh! Anyway, at least he didn't klap me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyP Posted August 13, 2010 Share I used to have an Alan. I bought in '82. Had Campy Super Record all cut out etc. Sat in my garage for years after byuing a new Bianchi. Eventually donated it to cycling development 2 years ago. Sometimes wish I hadn't. Also wonder what happened to it. <DIV></DIV>I have a good idea how you feel gtr1 - my 1988 Bianchi was donated, somewhat against my will, at gunpoint in Feb last year. I miss that bike terribly although I have many others - built it up on student money and did 60k Km on it until that dreadful day. The closest I have now is a Bridgestone RB1 I bought in 1990. She still does a good job though, but nothing quite like my old celeste dream bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trakk Posted August 14, 2010 Share Hi GuysGreat thread! I have recently began riding again after a 14 year absence! I am still riding my vintage Celeste green Bianchi with Columbus TSX tubing and EL forks! In my opinion - she still rocks and I would not get rid of her for the world! I have however upgraded components - put a Fizik Arione saddle on, new Time pedals, changed STI's as mine were shot after mny years of use. I will try and post some pics! Watch this space.

Stretched@Birth Posted August 15, 2010 Share So, I was out riding today, caught some guy who was riding back to Apple Orchards from Alberton. He "had not been on a bike in ages and was resting" when I pulled up to check that he was ok. He was riding a Fausto Coppi, and sparky here didn't get a pic to post, or ask him about the bike, dude's riding gear was a little retro too...
