I am waiting for a call from a friend to head to Aspen for a few months, if not I'll visit friends in Telluride for about a week.

Doug I`d just about kill for one of those-they are beautiful and exceptionally rare here-there are only 4 in the country-all 101 series-no 750`s. Regretfully missed a Giulia Sprint (1963) earlier in the year but love the shape and size.
You are indeed a lucky man.

Nice Doug!
Also... it looks like you have at least one old Track Bike hanging-up there.?.? Did you use to spend some time on the velodrome?

Track Bike

I was in the bicycle business for about 35 years, starting when I was 12. That IS a mid 60s Paramount Track Bike hanging there, along with a few other steeds. Cycling is my first love. Hard to say anything bad about a bike.
Nice Eye, Doug

I love those Sprints, man. In college I owned one for 3 days. I flipped it and took a profit on it. It was my first Alfa. I didn't know what I had. I really wish I had the car rather than the $300.00 I made on it, which I don't have anymore anyway. Probably went to beer. Which is really shame since you can only rent beer.

Ya well---------I was a junior in 71! Gota get on my comutrainer tomorrow,trying to keep young. These days I ride a Challenge Jester ( hence my email address) Low Racer. Total comfort and speed. I foolishly sold my custom built Charles Roberts track bike in 75 to buy a Guild guitar, it is a sweet guitar though. We rode track bikes on a Kart track, or fixed gear spring training. Never had a Velodrome to use.
Later, Doug

Cool

I installed a Supersprint exhaust on my Alfa 156 Twin Spark.

Fantastic sound not too much noisy under 3000 tr/mn and a pretty sound in tops turns. Design is a little vintage style, nice for an Alfa Romeo.Very good quality of the fit Nice crisp sound without being over loud and annoying

I' m very satisfied of the Supersprint



I changed the thermastat this one was always open. Now temperature is around 90° and engine works fine. I have more power, that' s cool
