After a few months on a 35+ lb Schwinn, I knew I needed a real bicycle. It took me a year and a half a saving a few dollars at a time to be able to pay the $400 for the bicycle (1983 or 1984). It's a mix of suntour, sugino, and miche parts. Approx 22-23 lb. It felt like riding a rocket. I still use it on my wind trainer.

I still remember a long walk home on wooden soled cleated shoes after going through both of my spare tires.....
