Objects of my affection
Sold the Alpina on 4 September 2023.
Only the 1983 Colnago Mexico and 1979 Medici Pro-Strada (on the stand) in this photo remain in my collection. I also still retain the tiny "industrial art" 1973 Colnago Super, 1981 Bianchi Super Leggera, 1982 Casati Perfection, and 2002 Davidson Signature.
With the exception of the art bike, the remaining bikes are all either 57 or 58cm center-to-center, and fit me well. I've finally rid myself of the bikes that had simply become too small for my aging body!
What I've Learned: Never underestimate the feeling of liberation that goes with getting the collection down to a manageable 5 bikes - all of which get ridden regularly. I've spares for the remainder of their days - not to mention mine!
It's all good.
