MOB told me that he is selling lots of good quality city bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes, and even some electric scooters.
But the other bikes around his shop that I really noticed were the "Eroica-eligible" classics hidden here and there.
You can find the rules for Eroica bicycles in
Regulation 6.1 of the Eroica -- an annual 200+ km event on the bianca strada of Chianti in Tuscany. Basically, the bicycles should be from before 1987, or more recent ones that are "historically inspired". No brifters, etc. I realized that MOB could easily outfit a team of tall Bremen-based riders to join the Eroica.
Here are two of them. First, a Pegliaghi.

| Is it for sale? |
Next, a Cinelli Supercorsa with gorgeous components.
 |
| Beautiful Campagnolo downshifters |
 |
| Holes drilled ... for grip? Save weight? |
 |
| A Peugeot ... too large a frame for Jerome. |
 |
| Nagasawa track bike -- MOB bought this Keirin frame with me in Tokyo! |
You can learn about all of these and more on
MOB's blog.
