Two David Kirks. One with steel fork and standard stays, one with a carbon fork and Terraplane stays. You'll pry them from my cold, dead fingers, etc.

Gios Super Record that I bought new in 1978.

I don't ride it as much as I used to because I like to climb and it's hard for me to spin a 42. But still the best feeling bike I've ever ridden.

Thanks Ted!! No, they are all original paint. The Red Singer was one of the last built under Ernest and has been ridden sparingly.

I've been having so much fun on this thing lately that I felt I needed to post it here.

1990 era Billato brothers built Greg LeMond, Columbus SL tubing.

Really came into it's own with the wheelset in the pic. It was just waiting to have some rims of similar vintage, I guess...

Man oh man Vonruden, Niiiiiice. I love to sit on the floor stretching and admiring my couple of super clean builds. But your place must be like the Fast by Ferracci showroom! My wife would divorce me, but .......... !

I found this one in a far-away town last year on Craigslist, but by the time I called the seller, his son had relocated it much closer to my area.
I had one like it in the 70's and liked it, so had been casually searching for one in recent years. Search over!

Handles like a truck, but in a good way, and holds it's own on moderate training rides through the local foothills.
