One for every day of the month!

Seriously though I hope those all get ridden, at least every now and then.

For shure! Today i took the Nago Super from 1974! What a ride: Steel is so smooth to ride and so quiet. Love this babe.

i always notice the classic bikes when i ride and not really the new bikes on the road as they all seem to look the same to me!!!!

As you say, steel is so smooth and quiet. I would add awesomely stable when going downhill also.
Out of curiosity, what kind of clothes, shoes, glasses etc. do you use when on your steel gems?

I use woolen, original old Jerseys with new De Marchi or Santini Bibs. Shoes i have some old Sidi, Dettos and Vittorias and old Style but new made SVB Shoes.

Holy moly. Just went through this thread. Those are quite the machines you and your wife have. Simply stunning.

IMHO there are a few things that do not match the frame well like the different profiles of the wheels, the Sram groupset, the rotor cransket, the oval chainrings.

But it‘s perfect to ride and it has a smooth handling:

Sram is much easier to handle the big rings with small hands; the front wheel is perfect for her low weight and we started with the Q-Rings 7 years ago and we‘re happy with it. And she rides 10‘-12000k in a year and she is happy with it. It‘s her choice: Happy Wife, happy life.
