So what was your first road bike?

5 speed Raleigh Olympus in Gios blue for my 10th birthday in 1979...
Did up a 531 Carlton Corsair tourer in the early 90s.... which ended up as a fixie...
And the first proper road bike was a Wilier Triestina 7020 Alloy thing I built up with Chorus and 1st-gen Cosmics in 95

A Sunn Solo
Metalic sky blue
I loved that bike, but the bottom bracket and headset kept undoing themselves.
On reflection it was most likely a pile of poo :roll:
