A 1990's road racing bike and a new Rivendell Leo Roadini are two VERY different animals. Like, practically different species, even if they are the same genus. Step 1 is decide which of the two you want, and then buy the one you want. If it turns out you really want one of each of those two very different bicycles, then you've got something else to deal with.
If the real problem is you want one of each, know that they are completely different bikes, and can only afford one. If that's the issue then you need to go back to Step 1 and decide which of these two types of bikes you want FIRST. Buy that one and save up for the other. They are going to fit MUCH differently. They are going to ride a lot differently. They will have much different levels of comfort, stability, agility, etc. They have completely different vibes from one another. I have both of those types covered in my stable, so the appeal of having one of each type makes perfect sense to me. :-) Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Wednesday, December 20, 2023 at 11:48:22 AM UTC-8 brenton...@gmail.com wrote: > > https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/d/san-francisco-57cm-time-capsule-1993/7688650100.html > > The seller said he’d go as low as $1600.
