Right now I have four Campagnolo equipped bikes. All with what I would call "modern" equipment.
- I mostly run what you Americans would call "Sewups". We call them Tubs or tubulars in Australia.
1. 10 speed Record, Masi Volumetrica steel Frame. (1992 - Tubulars)
2. 11 speed Super Record EPS, De Rosa steel frame. (1987 - Clinchers for now
)
3. 12 speed Super Record, Masi Volumetrica steel frame. (1991 - Tubulars)
4. Paconi steel framed track bike equipped with Campagnolo Pista. (Late 70s - Tubulars)
I also own a Trek flat bar "Dad Bike" that I bought new in 2005 and I'm in the process of converting it into a Gravel bike of sorts. The plan is tubular cycle cross tries and drop bars. It will be equipped with 1 by 9 speed Microshift and some choice "Paul" parts on it. (Paul Component Engineering, Chico California)
Over the years I have bought and sold a lot of bikes and I've never been a collector. I don't know for sure but around 40 bikes and literary hundreds of wheels have passed through my hands. I bought my first carbon frame in 1992 and I've broken three carbon frames so far
. I've been building wheels and repairing bikes since I was a teenager. Right now I'm building two bikes for customers. Both Shimano 105 equipped.
So that's it in brief. I could go on and on about my past projects, tools and workshop.
