I've resubscribed after being off list for about a year , My name is Tom Roberson of Gainesville, VA . . My collection of bikes tends to be eclectic with bits and pieces that were usually at hand and worked , nothing that you would consider a complete original , but hey, , years ago my bikes were always that way . In no particular order:
1970 Schwinn road chrome Paramount , recently reconverted from fixed . Grand lady of the group with upright bars , Guidonnet brake levers and Honjo fenders. 1969/70? Mondia Special road 1950s/60s? Olmo Special road fixed 1970s Bianchi Mixte city bike early 1970s Austro Daimler "olympian" road KOF Rivendell Ramboulliet KOF Rivendell Atlantis
I was a late registrant for this years Cirque , circumstances prevented me from bringing and showing the Dutch RIH road bike I raced on in the early 70s . . the bike moved back and forth between the original owner and myself back then and it wound up with the original owner around 1980 . . I tracked him down and he had put all original bits and pieces back on it and it has been hanging up ever since , agreeing to let me show it . . Hopefully next year . . Dale , I appreciate all your efforts and everyone elses involved in this year Cirque. .
regards, Tom Roberson, Gainesville, VA
