Mid-70's Strawberry Racing Cycle
I bought used in 1978. It was built in Portland, OR by Mark Denucci (sp?). Had it repainted light metallic blue by Paul Schwyhart of Painting Specialties in Eugene, and raced my first 2 years on it. it was made of Reynolds 531 and it had very cool Mavic dropouts. I added a "diamond K" cutout to the BB shell. If it is still around, it is easily identifyable by the BB cutout.

2004 Specialized Allez Comp Cro-mo
Not counting the Huffy and Schwinn in highschool, My first real roadbike was a 2004 Specialized Allez Comp Cro-Mo with Full Ultegra 9 on it. It has served me well and gotten me hooked on cycling and I still like it so much that I am having a hard time downgrading it to a rain bike now that I have the Spectrum....

My first real ride was an early 70's Swiss Allegro bought new in 75'. 531, Tipo, Pivo, Stronglight, AVA, Lyotard, Wolber, Simplex. It replaced a Japanese Campania that was stolen and was replaced by a Raleigh Pro. And so it began...
Here's a photo from www.campyonly.com of one with better parts. The dealer had these available in all levels of parts groups on the same frame but with different paint. The top of the line with all Campagnolo had this paint or the smoke paint job Allegro was known for. Mine was grey with red decals and red pinstriping.: http://www.campyonly.com/images/retr...02/pg_full.jpg Last edited by shiftinjon; 10-24-2005 at 06:13 PM.

1986 Schwinn Prelude, followed in 1989 by a Paramount. I worked all summer cuttin lawns and winter shoveling driveways to afford my two favorite teenage habits. Girls and bikes. I was 15 in 1989.

My first road bike was a Cilo, with brand-new at the time 105 componentry. Biopace! Index shifting! unfortunately the bike was totalled when I got hit from behind by a soccer mom's big wagon, then an hour later stolen at the mall after I limped there to call my mom. This was in eighth grade, I think. I didn't think there was a need to lock up the damage, but I was mistaken.
I guess it was lucky though--I was able to replace it with a Raleigh Team built up with Chorus from my parents' insurance. That was my first real real road bike.

First "pro" bike was a 1975 Peugeot PX10LE that I bought used for $250 in 1976 after it had been raced for one season. Super Champion red label tubular rims with wired spokes, Maillard hubs, Stronglight cranks, Mafac "Competition" brakes, Simplex plastic, Brooks Pro saddle, etc. Over the years I broke many of the components, but I still have the bike, now with Shimano 600 6-speed rear, Simplex metal front, Mavic MA-40 rims, Specialized hubs, original cranks and brakes, Campy C-record platform pedals with toe-clips...
After a few years of not riding, I actually rode it for a while this summer until my new CIII arrived. Now I'm spoiled with all Chorus, Speedplay x2's, Fisik saddle,... What a difference!!

Remembering old bikes...
I used to have this Takara Sport... 10 speed... rode it everywhere... sure wish I still had it even though it was just a mass produced boat anchor... Do you ever lament the loss of an old bike?
