Ok - I will start the Show with a rare steel made classic Youngtimer from beginning of the 90s.

Il Diavolo or Il Pirata are names that are synonyms of pure cycling and of this blue-white beauty made by
Italian manufacturer Podium with Columbus EL tubes.

Here comes gridno27's 1994 Carrera in the coulors and TechSpec of the Probike of the 1994 Carrera-Tassoni Team

Spokesmann's 1973 Carlton Continental
I'd like to nominate my recent 1973 Carlton Continental restoration. This machine was my very first proper bike back in 1976 when my dad purchased one second hand. 40 years later I was able to purchase another one which was almost 100% intact but needed some gentle restorative work to bring it back to its 1973 glory. The machine has been put back to how it was in 1973 with few period accessories added to finish that English 1970s look. Full details can be found here:

This thread is lost. Surely it should be sticky?

Re: Re:

My riding angle, all my bikes are set precisely for my own needs, not to any unwritten cycling style/acceptance 'code'. Its been pointed out time and time and time and time again.

Bump.
