Yeah, he got me started with Campag and traditional steel frames pretty early.

The current Tommasini build is different than how he last had it. It’s a mix of the builds he had on it when I was younger with a dash of my own style. He was able to see the latest build and approved of my interpretation.

These will eventually be built up again.

It’s nearly been subtracted from the bicycle count. Not sold, mentally reclassified.

Thanks, cannot think of a better reason to hang a bike up. How nice to have shared that with your dad.

Don't see how that's relevant to my question, but…ok.

If had space in house (retirement house kind of small) would be a circa 1970 Cinelli or a Brian Baylis...or if I had enough money and schmooze power - the carbon rig that Bruce Gordon made https://ruedatropical.files.wordpres...g-c3.jpg?w=584
