57, to my sincere astonishment, but not that fat. Yet.

4 bikes, I´ve decided not to collect to preserve some kind of sanity. (99 Riv LL, 85 Nishiki Continental, 82 Centurion touring, 79 Union Kyoto [dutch] that will turn fixed this spring, the rest are sold, given away or stolen). I´ve cast my eyes on a greyblue Mercian Vincitore. That may look too much of the same, but you must have one bike on each place you visit, mustn´t you?

3 perversions, bicycling is one of them.

1 wife - that´s mainstream - with 76 Colnago Super which says it all. (She´s going away to Estonia for a week the 23rd, when she comes back it will sport a Schmidt dynohub on a GP4 rim - 28h - front, and those wine-red Bluemels Club Special, only she doesn´t know it). As - nowadays - a back-up also a 85 Meral - the second on the list I noticed.

1 son with a Hermes, 30s something.

1 daughter with a 80 Crescent Competition. Or is it? Only the repainted frame remains from the original, when does a bike turn to something else?
