What about a soft rag under the tire and a lashing strap from bumper through bike rim to other bumper?
Two nice rides! My road bike is a 2004 Fuji Professional that was upgraded to Dura-Ace Componentry. I bought it used in 2008 just needing new tires. It's about 17 pounds
I would definitely consider some kind of protection for the rear wheel, or to immobilize it, both from lateral and vertical movement. Bikes on racks tend to do things that seem to defy logic or even the laws of physics when you least expect them to. I'd hate to see something happen to that beautiful BE of yours.

That brings back memories! In he early 80s I was trying to make the national team, thus I was very poor.
I used to drive my bugeye to races all the time. I took my bike apart an put it in the passenger seat- this was before racks had qr front wheel mounts.
I cant remember the name of the first one, but I had a car with a roof by the time they came out.
Still have that bugeye, still have that bike. Many many bikes later, I still race bikes.
Also reminds me of the time I was going skiing an picked up a pretty attractive liftie who was hitching from town. She was not impressed with riding with a couple of pairs of 203cm skis in her seat.
At least the skiing was good.

I destroyed my previous bike in a crash, the one I still have is a Trek 757. Super early Trek. Reynolds 531, Campy Super Record.
Bob Gregorio sold it to me from a lbc before he was known as Bicycle Bob.

Nice to see some bike geeks here! I'm one too, and I especially like classic British bikes. My prize is a full chrome Hetchins Magnum Opus from 1966:
It has all Campagnolo Nuovo and Super Record parts, with Universal center-pull brakes.

Nice!
The coolest classic bike I still have is my Suzuki bmx bike from about '76. Not many of those around anymore.
I design bikes and bike stuff for quite a few people. More newfangled stuff though, and mostly mountain bikes. I do that on the side so I can afford the bikes I like.
One of the guys I work with is a framebuilder who is really well known- but only among frambuilders.
He built most of the Huffys that the National and 7/11 team rode in the early 80s.
He built this pretty famous bike

The person they atribute this bike to is wrong, my friend is the one who screwed this paint job up in the middle of the night- the seat tube graphic is supposed to match the stays and top tube. There were a few people supplying these bikes, but this one is distinctive because of that.
The one of his I'd like to have is the one Pete Penseyers won the RAAM on, it has some cool lugwork.
He was never a big name builder because he had a more lucrative job as an engineer, and he's good at both.
I'm going to build an old/new school frame with him one of these days, probably after my car is done.

I purchased a Maruishi TA18 Tour Ace in the 80's. Loved the bike. Did a lot of riding in those days. Lived next to the Elroy-Sparta bike trail and spent a lot of time on it. All was well until I had 3 vertebra fused in my neck which fixed some problems but caused great pain in my neck when riding.
This is not the bike I had but is exactly the same.
