Good day to all list members,
I'm a new member to the list for a couple of weeks now, I've enjoyed reading all those mails. An introduction of myself may be in order. I raced from '80 to '94 (mostly criteriums, I liked TT's though), and was always interested in custom-built frames from small builders. Steel, of course. For the past couple of years my 'stable' is growing, and now I'm slowly turning into a collector! The bikes in my garage: Visser Vainqueur custom, 1981, my first and loyal race bike, now a single speed; Dave Lloyd custom 753 OS fillet brazed, 1995; Dave Lloyd custom Deda Zero Uno fillet brazed, 1997; XACD titanium custom, 2004; Hewitt Scandium, 2003; Rossin RLX, Mondriaan (Look) colour scheme, 1988, frame only, to be built with C-Record; Rossin Record, 1984, frame only, to be built (and raced?) with Nuovo Record; Miyata MP-X, 4140 db tubing, 1977, frame only, to be built with 1st gen. Dura Ace; Rossin Record, 1982, my daily ride with flat bars.
Besides the bikes (and riding them), I'm interested in classic Japanese, high end, parts; just to be different from all those that want Campy! In the near future, I'll offer the Campy and other Italian parts that are lying around here, to the list. The motto will be: used, but in good to excellent condition. Maybe I can trade for something Japanese.
Regards,
