Welcome Howard.
This morning I was just walking down the street to place a throwline in a neighbor's, mostly-dead, hollow maple in preparation for pulling it over. Two cyclists came rolling down the street, and one yelled my name. They turned around, and it was a prior customer of mine (I went to grade school with his younger sister). He was riding a nice Orbea, but reminded me that I had sold him his first nice bicycle, a Trek 460 back when I owned two bicycle shops. Got an invite to ride with them.
Mostly I ride the NX-7, but I also recently bought a like-new Kona Jake cyclocross bike from a professor at the University who never really got into riding. I still have the Trek 520 I rode through Scotland and across the country, a Windsor Professional (the builder of these bikes was a gentleman by the name of Remo Vecchi, who had worked for Cinelli in Italy, until he was brought over to Mexico to build these bikes - the reason Windsor Pros are virtual copies of actual Cinelli's).
I have several other bikes (my wife would say too many). My current renovation/rebuild is a 1962 Peugeot tandem, with 650B tyres fitted. It came to me in a round-a-bout way, but was originally owned by the couple who got me started cycling in 1968. Fran and Pat Hart spent their honeymoon hitchhiking around Europe, but when they could not get rides in the south of Spain they went to a bicycle shop and bought the tandem. Six years later when I started going on rides with them (at 12 years old) they had refitted the tandem so it was steerable from the rear, and added an elevated crankset so their three year old daughter could go on the rides, too
