Subject: [CR] What do you ride?


I have to say right up front that I am still recovering from my stroke of two years ago and not riding very much. Hopefully this Spring, I'll be more active. I am riding my Winter bike, which is a very early Richey Swiss Cross Cyclocross bike with Tange Prestige tubing that Tom R. originally built for a bike show and only weighing 19# (large tires and all) when I first built it up. Mucho off topic weight weenie stuff on it. I then converted it to a go anywhere City Bike by adding fenders, some racking and some really slick off topic off topic platform pedals, so that I can step down from them very quickly when the bikes slips on snow and ice. But I veer dangerously off topic here. My three main road bikes are still my old faithful Richard Sachs 25th Ann. Model and two Peter Mooney bikes. Love'em all! The other bikes (Paramounts, Masi, Wizard, Kvale, Malvern 5 Star, Donicelli and a NOS never ridden Legnano) are all wall hangers for now.

One aside here, I put a new fangled wireless computer on the Sachs and now I don't seem to want to ride anything else for any distance. I should have put one of those on that can be easily moved to other bikes. I may yet do so.

Looking out the window at huge snow drifts,
