Re: [Bicycle_Restoration] how many bikes do you ride

When it comes down to it about 4-5.  Sometimes you ppick up something and you ride it a lot at first, then back to you fav.  My latest one is a Gitane interclub, put it together, took it for a test ride, and just keep riding it.   My "regular" if i was doing a sponserd ride is either my 79 Trek (reynolds frame), a Seattle made Raleigh with STI shifting or my mid 80s Peugeot PGN.  Those are set up with SPD pedals  Specail day i brign out my Motobecane Grand record. Or if i can talk my wife into it the tandem.   Knocking around a 70's Raleigh sprite i converted to alloy rims or my Super Course single speed.
