MY COLLECTION OF OLD BIKES (more bikes now added)

[stringfellow1946]

thanks chris, it is indeed an awesome collection ! i just wondered if you had any favourites handling wise ?

No they are all good at what they are designed to do. The Colnago's it goes without saying are the benchmark, but from my experience almost any Italian built bike handles OK. I have never seen a top make Italian bike with toe clip overlap, unlike a lot of the english built frames.
The TT Low Pros with the 650c front wheels can be a bit on the nervous side.
I just hope that the photos are of some help to people.

Wow,just stunning all of them

I would kill to get my hands on the 753 Ti Raleigh

Wonderful collection, thank you for sharing with us

yeah,the 9 tube vitus rear brake bridge detail is quite mad.
rather than go to route 'A' the builder decides to complicate things and design something unique.i also
like the cadex' s seat post lugs.

Re:

What an amazing collection! :shock:

I particularly like the 753 Team Raleigh and the PX-10 (I remember drooling over the latter in my LBS when I was younger).

Many thanks for sharing photos of your truly splendid collection!
