Hello! I'd like to show you my first road bike.
I bought it new in 1979 when I was still a kid. I saved some money and borrowed the rest to buy this bike. I still remember when I went to the store to get "her". It looked like the most beautiful bike to my eyes. I was still to short for it and remember riding home siting on the top tube every once in awhile. When I wished to stop I just had to find a sidewalk high enough to get my foot down without falling over. I rode it all day long during those summers through the 80's. I stopped ridding it so often when I got my 1st mtb around the late 80's. Me and my brother would go into the countryside exploring all those rural paths. He was never a road man.
After college I stopped cycling. ~10 years later in the summer of 2009, I don't why, I remembered my old road bike still there in the attic. I brought it down and tried to bring it back to life.
