Do you guys remember the "Teledyne Titan", titanium frame. Used to get purple finger prints on it from your sweat.
I have a Schwinn Tandem, an old Varsity model, a Continental, and a bunch of Euro 10 speeds. Bottechia, Ghanna, Gudereit, some others.

I used to get $3.00 a wheel in 1975 to spoke wheels. Built, trued, tensioned, and out the door, a pair an hr. Spoke until your fingers bled.

Out there doing it best I can.
