Thought you might like to see my latest acquisition .......proud owner. heheheh !

 

[dan_bo]

well cool

I think Coppi's friend and museum might notice it's gone missing - get it on eBay, quick!

(It is the 1953 TdF-winning bike, right?)

That's a proper heroic bike, that is - and shows that things don't have to be over-restored to be classy.

Plenty classic old bikes in the Madonna del Ghisallo church. Coppi's 1949 TdF bike.

I am trying to work out if the old guy is holding the bike up or the bike holding him up.

Well l'll tell you one thing that happened when l woke up today.....it started SNOWING, l mean proper cold white stuff drifting down from the sky!
