1994 custom Peter Mooney Steel with campy parts and 26-inch wheels (i'm a shortie)

Glad to see there are people out there who still believe in and ride steel frames. I've been riding an Olmo (all Campy with the all but forgotten down tube shifters) for years. IMO its hard to beat hand crafted steel. Italian steel in the case of the Olmo. Lugs are your friends!

the 25 year old schwinn i ride, late '70's schwinn super letour, (with a few campy components, and 10+ year old tires survived 150+mile charity ride last summer without problems, (no flats even), i was passing broken-down multi thousand dollar bikes w/ flats, some more than one time, i only gave $25 for it. :dunno: go figure, biking is quite fun, but then again, so is riding :mrgreen:

Yes I got an aluminium frame mongoose XR 150 for $15 over the weekend. Whooo hooo.
Cool.

I couldn't  agree more.

DeRosa has some mighty fine lugs as well. Old Serottas are unique too.

My Olmo functioned flawlessly for my ride across Kansas. Not so much as a flat tire from the Colorado border to Missouri. Don't bother with the smart arse comments about Kansas being flat either unless you have ridden several hundred miles through the rolling hills of eastern KS. Border to border in 6 days, I promise, its doesn't SEEM flat.

Eddy Merckx, used to drop into my "local" whenever he crossed the channel, he seemed a good guy, liked a pint, but very few Belgians don't.

At risk of expanding the thread, long before lycra was invented I used to be half of a tandem racing team for a local club (They bought the tandem) now that was a buzzz. No funny remarks, the back half........
