Well, interesting study in group dynamics, this "what´s in your cellar"-thread. At first there were just a tentative few, now, in the midst of the deluge, even I can´t desist.
I must apologize again for my complete ignorance as far as Campag stuff is concerned.
The first four or five bikes are the ones I like best.
1958 Johnny Berry (Manchester, UK), Campag GS, 49D, with interesting history
1939(?) Evans Super Continental, Super Champion, Williams C1200, 26 x 1 1/4 Conloys
1902 Adler #72 "half racer", s/s fixed, my size (I´m six and six), a superb ride on track & road ("Look, no brakes!")
1948 Thanet Silverlight #SL 1262, MY SIZE (well, nearly), C/L, ASC, Conloys
1899 Crescent #17 shaft driver, Kelly bars, brought back to sprightly life from the stone dead, deeply buried, and putrescent by list member Tim Gunn
c1904 Allright (Cologne, Germany) motor paced track racing cycle, 33 tooth inch-pitch chainring (heave-ho, heave-ho - variety)
1936 (or was it ´38?) Baines Flying Gate, #225, TF in wood sprints, Chater c/set & pedals
1939 Saxon Twin tube, an original one with the short seat tubelet, another TF, Duprat hollow octagonal cranks, 27" Conloys, fantastic re-spray organized by David "Hetchins" Miller
c1925 Favor (France) Split Tube, two D-shaped tubes making up the down tube, also twin chain stays, s/s fixed
1949 Claud Butler Avant Coureur, Simplex rear mech & stick changer, Chater
1979 Jack Taylor Tourist, #7575 all original curious mixture of Campag, MAFAC and Suntour
1936 Granby Taperlight, s/s fixed
1946 Holdsworth LaQuelda Ladies, FC
1945 Bates Vegrandis, Cyclo Olympic
1970s (?) unknown French Randonneuse with all the nice stuff like Pelissiers, TA, super long mudguards, off a French booter for 20 Euros last summer (same price as
c1980 Motobécane something or other, practically unused, 531/Nervex, Shimano 600, I´m afraid)
c1979 XAB3 (pronounce Khavz) Start-Chaussee Ukrainian road "machine", Record copy, ugly, but has been ridden all over former Soviet Central Asia
1962 well-nigh new Peugeot 650 Randonneuse, cheap but nice with white Delrin stuff, off first owner in 1991
no idea how old Alan red anodized midget framed bike my son will hopefully grow into in a year´s time or so, gold anodized MAFAC comp centrepulls, cheap Campag groupset (Nuovo GS, I think)
1992 Hetchins Novus Ductor Path Racer 67cm c/t built for myself
1987 mostly French outfitted Mercian Vincitore Special again built for myself
1982 Gazelle #10 Gent´s tourer outfitted with dropped North Road bars and rod operated S/A drum brakes, fabric covered chain case, looks 50 years older than it is, frame ht 65 cm, found in Holland in bike shop next to 2CV truckette meeting place
1988(?) Rossin with Campag Athena (?), unused, remarkable because of its gaudy colour scheme
1986 Romany now retro-fitted with NR things to give a fast tourer, Jan Heine would probably blow a fuse if I called it a Randonneur
c1950 unknown Italian bike with Cambio Corsa which I have been advised is in the post and should arrive any day now
1965 RUFA project, German 531/Nervex affair, interesting history, parts still needed should be in same box with Cambio Corsa-contraption
1952 PT Stallard project, just started in earnest, c/w original bill of sale, my size
1989 Longstaff Double Marathon tandem, TA x-over, Suzue, SunTour, dubbed "Penny-Farthing" by maker (sign written on front top tube) because of its 65-50 cm frame heights.
Just counted 28, good heavens. Robert Graves once wrote something like, "another one, and yet another one, when can I give over?", and he only was thinking of poems which are, as I am informed, much easier to store than cycles.
