I spent a year gathering period correct parts (steel record derailleur, 151 BCD crankset etc) as well as parts to be used for actual riding (nuovo record derailleur, 144 BCD triple crank).

Fork is full chromed with the head tube long point cut out lugs chromed and � of the rear stays chromed with shot in fast back style to the seat post and Campy drops all in the Italian tradition. The Proteus came to me from Steve at the Gravity Garage because he knew I couldn�t resist a road frame form the same builder that built my Proteus MT Frame. Bike came with an odd assortment of economy bike bits. The Proteus now has Universal 77 brakes and levers, TA triple crank on a Campy bottom bracket. Hubs are Campy high flange laced to Velocity Dyad 700c rims. Reworked a WIN Stem with Nitto moustache bars wrapped in black leather from Zombie Tools.

Have upgraded ever since and still had the Davidson in my basement. I told Eric Greenberg about my bike and that I would sell it for cheap or give it away and that’s when I learned about Cino.

BYRON RHOADES — Olympia,WA
Cino number: 107
Year of bike: 1978
Make: Palo Alto Cycles Italian steel
Description: I bought the steel Italian racing bike about 20 years ago. I purchased it from a father in Portland, Oregon whose daughter had raced on it for a few years. It had previously been ridden by the father. It became my winter/commuter bike. I had to replace the fork due to damage incurred while driving into my garage with the bike on a roof rack. I had the bike powder coated a teel color, it was originally blue.
I rode the bicycle for about 10 years, then sold it to a good friend’s wife. She passed away a couple years ago. I purchased the bike again for myself recently when I crashed and broke the late 1970’s Medici that I intended for Cino.

Cino number: 66
Year of bike: 1990
Make: Nashbar ‘CraigEffenstein’
Description: ? – framed Nashbar I bought from a high school bike-nerd that assembled it with attention to speed, weight and the infinite potential to pick up nerdy biker chicks.

TEAGAN HAYES — Missoula,MT
Cino number: 67

Cino number: unknown
Year of bike: 1980
Make: Centurion Pro Tour

CRAIG SOOTER — Sandpoint,ID
Cino number: 121
Year of bike: 1986
Make: Trek 760
Description: Drooled over this green and lavender bike for a year before I bit in 1987, figured it was my reward for completing my Internal Medicine Residency. I think the shop was happy to get rid of it–girlie color, tiny size, and really expensive. I took it back into the shop recently and it attracted quite a crowd with lots of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs.’ It’s still the sweetest ride ever and still makes me smile.
DIRK VISSOR — Missoula,MT
Cino number: 133
Year of bike: 1973
Make: Schwinn Paramount
Description: Reynolds 531 frame and fork. Nervex lugs. One of a kind P21. All original campagnolo components. Titan stem. Maes handlebars. Phil wood hubs. Set up for Cino.

Cino number: 140
Year of bike: 1945
Make: J.W. Evans, semi-custom ‘The Evans’
Description: New to me, 1940’s English steel, 3-speed road bike. Repainted by Bob Jackson, and built up by me. I’ve tried to use period appropriate parts, that would have been available in the 1930’s. The exceptions are the Solida Cats chainring from Bespoke Chainrings – Probably not appropriate on an English bike of that era, and the Phil Wood Bottom bracket – But Phil Wood is the only source for Chater Lea bottom brackets at the moment.
JOE SEIFERT — Clancy,MT
Cino number: 119
Year of bike: 1985
Make: Trek 660
Description: Investment cast lugged steel frame. Handed down from ex-wife, who rode it to a podium finish in the 1986 Hawaiin Ironman. I had the old orange paint bead blasted, then professionally repainted pale pink. Renamed the ‘Dork,’ at the suggestion of my dear friend Kim Hahn (father of Jamul and Kiefer). This bike has solo’ed Peaks to Prairie five times and appeared in countless traditional triathlons–in the pre-carbon fiber era…

BILL RIGBY — ,NO FORM IN FOLDER
Cino number: 108
Year of bike: 1986
Make: Gios Torino Professional
Description: Rarely seen red Gios (not Brooklyn team Blue), with a dash of chrome. All original 1986 components except for new rims. Bought in England 10 years ago, so the brakes are switched around for extra downhill excitement.
ADRIAN KIEN — Boise,ID
Cino number: 76
Year of bike: Don’t know
Make: Peugeot PX10
Description: This petite mademoiselle was a mail-order bride from Bruce Rinnert in Big Timber, MT. She lives with me now in Boise where I treat her to many lubrications of almond paste and vin ordinaire. Elle est, comment dit-on, ooo la, la.
JAMES LAINSBURY — Missoula,MT
Cino number: 78
Year of bike: 1981
Make: Peugeot Course
Description: It was the color that I first fell in love with as a wee lad. The brilliant pearl orange finish with blocky avocado-hued lettering (PEUGEOT) would not be denied. It couldn’t be ignored. My father bought the bike in Maine and rode it during many century rides, including one around the south shore of Lake Erie. Eventually he replaced this too-tall bike with a more sensible racing model, which meant that once I sprouted legs long enough to mostly straddle the Course, I did. I rode it for my first road race at age 14�a race that nearly killed me (nobody bothered to tell me that road racing meant sucking wheel!). I rode the Course off and on through the 80s and 90s before moving west, but I regularly encountered the bike during holiday visits, gathering dust in my parents’ basement. It’s orange hue still grabbed my attention. I haven’t ridden the Course in at least fifteen years, but I’m repacking bearings, wrapping the bars in non-varmint-chewed tape, and dusting her off for the Cino…so, let’s hope the French knew what they were doing when they built this bike.
NICK WOODS — Bozeman,MT
Cino number: 139

Description:
NICK WOODS — Bozeman,MT

Year of bike:
Make: Kogswell P/R

JOSHUA MOHLER — Kalispell,MT
Cino number: 88
Year of bike: 1981
Make: Schwinn Voyager SP
Description: Crazy story…but the giant green Varsity is going to sit this cino out. I met David from Seattle at the last cino. He had an uncle or something who was a Schwinn dealer in the 70’s and 80’s. Had vague memories of a large frame kicking about in some garage somewhere…27′ to be exact. He then GAVE it to me! Mailed it my way! I felt guilty and sent a couple of my prints his way as a thank you. The most amazing thing was that the frame had never been fitted…never had a nut on it…never saw a set of allen keys in it’s life. There is still goo from the dealer sticker on the top tube. I spent the last year floundering through a bike building process where I spent about half of my resources towards the wrong components and a donor bike that actually donned very little. Many lessons learned. I did however find a front fork with a 300mm head tube. I was told that was near impossible and that I’d have to have a custom one fabbed. E-bay is amazing. On the bright side, I’m sort of hooked on this bike building thing and am already thinking of my next project…
BLAKE LUDWIG — Missoula,MT
Cino number: 83
Year of bike: 1971
Make: Gitane Tour de France
Description: My younger brother purchased the bike from Edelwise Ski Shop (Sam Braxton) during his sophomore year at Hellgate High School. He rode the TOSRV a few times with the bike, and it moved with him through his life. Finally it was kind of beat up and he was using it inside in the winter months with a stationary peddling machine in White Salmon, Washington. That is when I asked if I could borrow it to ride the Cino. I fixed it up mechanically and rode my first ride, then I thought I should make a project out of this and restore it and so I did. It will be going on its fourth Cino this year, but it has just been a great bike to ride all summer for the last four years, I have really enjoyed it.
CHRIS CONNELLY — Whitefish,MT
Cino number: 26
Year of bike: 1976
Make: Stella
Description: Columbus steel French race bike my dad bought new in Salt Lake City. It has full campy record. My dad rode it from Seattle to Ft Walton Beach FL on this bike. (With sew ups). It has been hanging in the garage for years as I have grown up. I rode this bike in the 2001 Whitefish Lake Triathalon, so it has been bastardized, but still mostly original.
FRANK WILSON — Federal Way,WA
Cino number: 136
Year of bike: 1959
Make: Raleigh Grand Prix, Reg Harris Edition
Description: A fellow at work was retiring and trying to lighten his load. He showed me this old Raleigh that he had set up as a fixie and i thought ‘wow, this needs a lot of work’. I asked how much he wanted for it and he said ‘it’s yours’. I guess he knew that I would take care of it, but what a nice gesture! So I took it home and turned it into a 10 speed. Original headset, original hubs. Original frame and paint job. Found some old derailleurs and shift levers and brought it back to life as a functional hill climber.
TY FORSBERG — Auburn,WA
Cino number: 44
Year of bike: 1980
Make: Schwinn Voyager 11.8
Description: Chrome plated frame. Bought new in Seattle in 1980. Been riding it fixed gear for many years.
GEORGE GIAVASIS — Kalispell,MT
Cino number: 49
Year of bike: 1986
Make: Italian made Bianchi Special Formula II (in Celeste of course)
Description: I bought this fine machine rather recently because I missed the feel of the steel. The real story however is about the saddle. This well worn, far from pretty piece of leather has been with me for thousands of miles. It held me up on my first hand me down road bike, the Schwinn LeTour III. Indeed this ratty only piece of cowhide is a bit of a family heirloom. Despite the fact that it could actually be used as a boat anchor, this saddle will continue to grace my ride as long as it will hold my weight.
For a little extra flair:
Gum break hoods, cloth shellacked bar tape, champagne cork bar ends, leather saddle, frame pump, down tube shifting, original celeste paint job, Italian made Columbus tubing.
In Bianchi’s words: ‘Bianchi Special Formula II by Columbus in Superset design, dual bottle mounts, pump peg, Gipiemme forkends, Bianchi engraved seat stays’
SCOTT SULCER — Shoshoni,WY
Cino number: 123

DAWN CUMMINGS — Kalispell,MT
Cino number: 31
Year of bike: 1988
Make: Specialized Sirrus
Description: My first road bike in high school, still my main road bike. I took it to college with me. One night someone stole my and my girlfriend’s POS mountain bikes and left the road bike. Thank GOD they didn’t know what they left behind. I got an excuse to upgrade to get a decent MTN bike too!
DAWN CUMMINGS — Kalispell,MT
Cino number: 31
Year of bike: 1985
Make: Specialized Allez SE
Description: Bike was located at a thrift store by a friend of ours; my husband purchased it immediately. Under the layers of dust was a bike in decent condition. It took him all summer to refurbish it, but he finally did it. Except for the pedals, bottom bracket, and freewheel, it’s all original. Through the beauty of friction shifting, he upgraded from 6-speed to 7-speed, swapped in a longer B-screw and I now have a wider range 14-28 freewheel. We will be ‘Team Specialized’ together with his Sirrus!
BRAD JOHNS — Calgary,Alberta, Canada
Cino number: 73
Year of bike: 1985
Make: Mongoose Mangusta
Description: Steel framed, chrome bike built by Motobecane for Mongoose’s first attempt at road bikes for the North American market. Bought this on eBay for vintage rides so no long ownership history. However, it was reassembled by vintage mechanic Ed Novotni in Calgary. All original campy components except for Shimano freewheel. Also has new rims and 28mm tires. Great condition and a nice ride.
AARON GRABLE — Seattle,WA
Cino number: 58

Make: Fuji America
Description: Steel framed Japanese sport touring bike.
SYLVIA OWEN — Kalispell,MT
Cino number: 98
Year of bike: 2014
Make: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen
Description: My bike was born of Cino 2013. Back problems have interfered with riding in recent years, and when I saw Rivendell as a Cino sponsor and eyed their website, I drooled over their vintage-style bicycles. Riding with a fellow Cino participant in 2013 who had a Riv sealed the deal: I had to have one! I paid up and waited nearly 6 months for my A. Homer Hilsen to arrive. The albatasche handlebar it arrived with fit me poorly, but recently the bike was Hansartized and now sports a genuine vintage Italian bar with white bar tape. I now love my bike! Is that the Alps I hear calling my name??
Reed Gregerson — Whitefish,MT
Cino number: 142
Year of bike: 1982
Make: Saturn, built by John Padgett of California
Description: A custom, fillet brazed frame. All classic Campy Record components. Original paint. Non-original: Brooks Swallow saddle.
This bike was given to me by the famous Cupertino Bike Shop as a sponsorship deal for me to ride in the 1982 Hawaiian Ironman. Besides it’s beautiful fillet brazed joints, it sports several features that were ahead of it’s time. Like a top tube squashed for more lateral stiffness, as well as the seat and down tubes squashed where they join the bottom bracket. It was essentially a time trial bike, before aero features and time trial bars were being considered.
I rode it to a 9th place finish in the October, 1982 Ironman. I continue to ride it on a regular basis.
