Been a bicycle fanatic since the dinosaur days,,,,, I’m retiring in the near future and you just gave the best idea for my man cave....the Ferrari has to go outside. Thank you ,,,, great video....
In a place as perfect and beautiful as that it'll be important to occasionally phone a friend or relative on the outside world to let them know your not dead. Proper job mate.
Love it! I also worked as a bike mechanic in a shop in the mid 80’s and have amassed a collection but dream of displaying them as nicely as you have. I’m also a vintage car fan. It must run in bike mechanics blood!
The chrome Paramount. The Miyata Pro. And the Super Sport. Oh, and the Raleigh Pro. Nice collection. I've never seen that Lotus.The AX cranks and seatposts were art.
hey, thanks for watching. Bikes are bikes. If you love them and are passionate about them it doesnt matter if they are high end or not! Im sure you love yours!
Now that is an impressive collection i kinda recently got into collecting bikes and fixing them up which got passed down from my grandpa because he used to collect bikes sadly idk what he did with all his bikes but man do i love the vintage cruisers got a beautiful Ross cruiser from the 80s which is my favorite also have some shwinns but nothing to special hopefully sometime soon a diamond in the rough will appear in front of me in the form of a cruiser lol
Wow that's like Heaven ,just one of those is my dream have a '87 Bianchi tour De Colorado ,Premio ,Steelie its black I love it they don't make em like that any more ,well maybe Cinelli
Wow that Ochsner looks really good with the all black rims and tires!!! My chrome voyager might look just as good that way. Do you have a video of just that bike? I never worked at a bike shop. I did spend lots of time and a little paper route money at “Bobs Bay View Cycling”! Right on Howell Ave. (Milwaukee Area). I drooled over the schwinns a lot.
Hey, thanks for watching. I actually gave that bicycle to a friend, He's enjoying it! There is a video for that bike. It's one of my early vids. check it out ua-cam.com/video/gXfE0e3Jt2g/v-deo.html
I'm guessing you are about the same age as me, and were a teenager in the '80's, when all these drool-worthy bikes were seemingly unobtainable to a young guy with limited finances. I particularly remember lusting for a Team/Pro Miyata, Ciocc, and of course all Colnagos! I now have a few vintage bikes, but nothing as immaculate as yours. I'm still waiting to complete my first Campy Super Record group!
Brian, I have one of those on my "gotta have it" list. I have a 71 Supersport but id like to have the sports tourer. Esp in that color! But, its hard to find one in newish condition. Thanks for watching.
The industry almost always show bikes in the catalogs in the big ring. At least that's what my memory banks say! Either way, they look best this way. Just doesn't present as well in the middle ring. Plus, there's nothing "stretched out" by the rear derailleurs. They're built to handle all positions, so you aren't exceeding the spring's range.
I prey to God you have bulletproof security cause if those, let's face it, unobtainable gorgeous bikes ever got stolen you'd never get over it, I know I wouldn't! Such beautiful machinery, I wouldn't sell any of them!
Hey John, go to San Francisco Craigslist and type campagnolo record and scroll down. There's this amazing Guercerotti gran criterium fully restored with very trick drilled campy chainrings I thought you'd like to check out. Too bad it's too big for you to ride, would have made a nice addition to your collection
I have a GREAT Guerciotti story. Briefly: Friend in High School got a ticket FLYING down a steep LA hill on his prized Guerciotti on a hot day in a skinsuit. He hit almost 60mph in a residential district and got a FAT ticket. His mom was gonna KILL him. He was dead. So he naturally hides the violation and secretly goes to traffic court. Judge looks suspiciously at said kid who got a ticket for almost 60 in a 25. No chance THIS kid is gonna skate! Damn kids! But then judge looks quizzically at the violation and asks, while absolutely mangling the name, "What kind of car is a 'Guercirotti'?" Kid: "It's G-u-e-r-c-i-r-o-t-t-i, and it isn't a car; it's a bicycle..." Judge: "A BIKE???!!!! No way! Case dismissed!" Get outta my courtroom!" Best bike story ever, right??? PS Unfortunately he threw away the ticket. This was something to FRAME and hang on the wall! Bummer, but he had to destroy the evidence!

Hi Rod, Most get ridden. Some don't. I have a couple NOS bikes I just cant bring myself to ride! Thanks for watching. This was my first video by the way. Check out my newer ones.
Nice collection....but the filming made me nauseous....out of focus and would have been better with more time on each bike.....and show the whole bike instead of zooming in. It's interesting how the old bike had such tight gearing in the back compared to today's bikes. Also, notice how the seat height is barely higher than the handlebar height, unlike today's bikes.
If you didn't see anything you liked, then you lack an appreciation of the sport's history and evolution. These are the epitome of the 80's and 90's bike lines. These represent just a snapshot of the industry, but an important step along teh way. They're what few could afford and ride. Most of us just dreamed of these while riding more modest steeds.
I will watch this many times! My dream man-cave. Great bicycles , pure art!
You have the greatest mancave ever and your bikes are breath taking. Thanks for sharing.
My heart broke when I heard "Campagg-Nollo." I'll feel better soon I hope.
