For a multitude of reasons I've never dabbled in a retro road bike, this year I really fancy getting something together and I've compiled a short list which includes
Eddy Merckx SLX or Leader
Concorde (PDM) Squadra or Astore
Gios Torino
Colnago Master
Now my knowledge of most of these bikes is fairly limited, some are bikes I wanted BITD and some from association with certain teams and like the Gios through seeing them on here and being quite smitten. But none of what I know covers how they ride and suitability as a rider. So any comments or opinions on what I've included? Anything stand out as being very good or very bad? I'd like a rider and a comfy one at that (I've been lazily cosseted by modern geometry). So folks any help or further readin would be really appreciated.
