Paul asked: "Question: Is this bike taller then you usual?" in reference to
my Univega.
I guess that depends on what you mean by "taller" and what you mean by "usual".
I have six vintage level top tube road bikes in my stable, and I would not
consider the Univega "taller" than the other five. I'm a Stack and Reach guy,
and in order to get the Stack and Reach I want/need on a vintage road frame
with a level top tube, I'm looking at a solid "Large" frame size. Even though
I'm 5'10". Back in my teens and twenties I fit these bikes more like racing
bikes and I would have been in the "Medium" range. I also have two
contemporary level-top-tube bikes and those have a similar silhouette to the
vintage machines. Those 8 bikes have a "fist of seatpost" as is typical.
My modern sloping top tube bikes have a similar Stack and Reach but have a more
modern compact look. Those range from slightly sloping bikes like a
Roadeo/Legolas/Quickbeam/Romulus to more sloping approaches. All my bikes in
my stable fit me fine. :)

Your bike profile pic is as classic-looking as all get out Bill. Very tasty.
Question: Is this bike taller then you usual? (I'm trying to recall all
those...)If my bro-in-law still lived on the West Coast, I'd consider doing
that ride, since I have read about it for quite a long time.A Flickr album from

I've got the bike for it, and I'm just waiting for the stars to align to do the
ride. My "Eroica Bike" is a time capsule 1983 Univega Gran Premio. I've got
~700 miles on it, and will not have any issue using it for an Eroica day.

Curious if anyone on this forum is also a Vintage enthusiast and has interest
in the Eroica event that is run on the Central Coast of California. I've ridden
it a few times on my PX-10... its a great ride, although the organization that
runs the event has had its ups and downs over the years. Currently, the website
lists September 22, 2024 as the run date, but the registration button leads to
last year's sign-up....does anyone have any better intel?
