Original path racers? Yes. However, it wouldn't be hard to make a faux racer with a set of drops, Weinmann centerpulls, and 27 or 700c alloy rims laced to Sturmey Archer hubs. Put a Brooks on it, and paint it a subdued English color, and you'll have a bike that fools nobody, but that you aren't afraid of dinging up either.
