Bob et al: The ānā discussion is somewhat odd for me. I have about 30 or so bikes. I don't need that many; I'm usually pretty happy with whatever bike I'm riding at the moment. Right now my Roadeo and Della Santa are probably at the top of the list.
Why so many? I choose bikes that are beautiful, have stories to tell about their builders and their history, and are comfortable and fit wide tires. As far as rotating which one to ride, there's no real rhyme or reason, but all these get ridden: Rivendell Custom Rivendell Atlantis Bob Jackson Road Custom Jack Taylor Tour of Britain Della Santa Richard Sachs Quickbeam Schwinn Paramounts: 1972 P-13, 1973 p-13 (headed to Eroica), 1973 chrome p-13, 50th anniversary, and a 75 Anniversary Ebisu randonneur Bruce Gordon gravel/rain bike Wilier Triestina, an old Columbus Chromovelato Rambouillet Roadeo Gunnar Crosshairs Heron Road, repurposed as 650 Olmo Anniversary with a Campy 50th groupset Mercian Custom (1980) New Faggin custom Vanilla Road Legolas Pereira Custom Davidson Custom Merckx Mx leader steel, orange Molteni paint job 1980 something Colnago Super Gios Torino limited edition Paris-Roubaix, made by Aldo three or four years ago Sycip soon and a Raleigh Pro in need of restoration, and a Flying Scot frameset that wants to be built up.
