    The lugs on that are fantastic. Did you strip it and repaint it yourself?

    Na, a bit beyond my skills I'm afraid. Made by a frame builder in Scotland and painted by his friend who was a painter at "Flying Scot" bikes.

    This is my TI Raleigh which has made it to the end of about 50% of the events I've brought it to without something falling off. This photo was taken at the Anjou Velo Vintage bike event in France last year.

    Here are my little horses:

    1. Pinarello Stelvio. Currently under construction. Unfortunately, I can't find the right size crankset for the bike, so the project is on stand still...

    2. Bianchi Specialissima X4. Now with a new set of wheels. Unfortunately, it is being ridden only when I am on Holidays :). This bike rides really, really well and is surprisingly nice to handle.

    High end? Not entirely sure but however.

    Late 80's early 90's Peugeot 531 Pro. First Gen 105 SIS. B17N saddle. Zefal HPX pump. Cycles wonderfully.

    Illness may force me to choose between 1935 and 1955:

    1935 Unknown Builder

    1955 Gordon (Made in Co. Down)

    Both are beautiful. The Hennessy logo on the 1935 is very classy.

    Here are some photos of my late 80,s Peugeot 653. I bought it last year, here on Boards. I had it repainted, put Columbus carbon forks on it and installed a Campy Veloce gruppo. I got bars, stem and saddle from Planet X. seat post and pink bits on Ebay. The wheels are Fulcrum Racing 3s(2010, I think)
    I know, that it's a mongrel, but it rides really well, and I love it. I recently did Lap The Lough(130K) on it..Complete with bottle cages and pedals, it weighs 8.25 Kgs.
