Always vigilant in my watching of the known sources for the recyling of once used TT bikes, I have made the purchase of yet another bike to be proudly displayed in the collection. Unlike the previous acquisition, pictures to come after some cleaning and restoration, This beauty is a complete bike. 
A full mavic equipped dual disc lovely that was once raced by an unknown Italian of the professional persuasion.
Plans for the current collection are thus. Within the current collection I am in need of some time to restore all bikes to an appropriate aesthetic. First up is my custom Orbit, which will recieve the Dura-ace headset now residing on the Zinn and the orginal Chris king will transfer to the Carbonne. The Zinn's Ritchey dropouts will be restored along with the bottom bracket and the frameset will recieve the Mavic group and discs from the Carbonne, along with Mavic base bars from parts collection. The Carbonne newly robbed of its original Mavic will be redressed with a lovely 8spd Ultegra grouppo and J disc. No front wheel yet. lastly the Nishiki Linear is to recieve a stem and bars from the parts collection leaving only a front brake missing. These are the 4 current incomplete bikes, once finished I will have pictures taken and posted. I did have a request to post pictures of the bikes in their developmental stage so I may try to remember and post the transformation photos along with the final outcome photo's
If you would like to contribute to the on-line guest collection you may send me photo's of your TT Funny bike for submission (please only mixed wheel bikes). If you send a decent photo with a short description/ history I will post your bike for all to admire and lust after.
Enjoy the day and happy riding.
Eeek. You bought ANOTHER bike. Watch out, Mister. You are in trouble now.
