It's been 5 years since I posted this, I should update it.
Nishiki Simi pro
98 CSi
Kelly Bedford Canoe Crit Special
IF steel Crown Jewel
87 Richard Sachs
Della Santa Corsa Special
IF steel Deluxe
59 Schwinn Typhoon
Carl Strong
Land Shark
Gunnar Roadie
Waterford 1200
Ibis Spanky
Yamaguchi
Co-Motion Espresso

I sold the 1200 and bought a 2200, bought another Crown Jewel, a Fuso, a Paul Taylor, and a Jack Taylor, I don't think the Taylors are related, a Hakkalugi, a Smorsgasbord, a Rock Lobster, a lugged Condor cross, a Match built Paramount, a Steelman Stage Race and a Mondonico.
Oh, I forgot to mention the Schwinn Deluxe Twinn, that was a gift to my dad from Brownie Schwinn in 64.

All steel, all the time for this Clydesdale. My personal fetish is for vintage frames and updated components - the best of all worlds.

Current

1961 Bianchi Competizione (the one and only more-or-less period-appropriate set-up I have)
1967 Schwinn Paramount (a touring version - I think it was called a P-10 at the time, would later have been called a P-15), with Shimano 9-spd
The next three get most of my riding time
1978 Eisentraut "A" w/Campy 10spd
1982-ish Ron Cooper w/Campy 10-spd
1986 DeRosa Professional w/Campy 10-spd

Late 1980s-early 1990s Burley Bossa Nova tandem, Shimano 8-spd

Built Up But Needs Attention

1994 Trek 520 - used for loaded self-supported touring, and I think those days have passed for me.

In Progress

1960 Cinelli Speciale Corsa - currently with Ed Litton getting a respray. It will get Campy 10-spd, but with barcons instead of brifters. Looking forward to building up and riding this one.

Frames Hanging Around
1993 Fuso FR-93(Russ Denny built)
2000 Lemond Zurich
Tange-framed Medici with good repaint and mediocre decals - I still have never built up or ridden this one; it was on eBay for stupid cheap, so I put in a lowball bid and got it.

Formerly owned

early 1970's Bob Jackson - stolen out of my garage in 1992. RIP
1979 Sekai 2000 - used it to ride across the USA in 1980. (It ended up spending a rainy winter in my brother's back yard. RIP
1992 Bridgestone RB-1 - purchased to replace the Jackson. The bottom bracket hanger, down tube and seat tube developed a really nasty crack. RIP
1990-something Koga-Miyata Prolog - purchased to replace the RB-1. Didn't like the ride, so I sold it.

Most of my bikes are steel

2003 IF Planet-X
IRO Single Speed Cross
1986 Bridgestone MB-1 (Owned from new)

Then I have the evil opposite-2004 or so Pinarello Prince SL Aluminum and Carbon, I think if I squeeze the tubes they might dent, but it is light!

Atlanta with F1 fork. Seeing the narrow TT makes me smile--its like listening to 80's rock/pop.
