I like those shoes.
Truly? You have an 1984, Carlsbad-made Gran Criterium? My Rosebud hung at the ceiling of my LBS during my highschool years, while I drooled over it hopelessly as a USCF junior and Albertson's courtesy clerk (bagger) making $4.35/hr.
The frame hung up there until I came home on leave from the Army in 1988 and (the words still make me tingle) IT WAS STILL HANGING UP THERE. I immediately bought it then and it was my primary racer and transportation during my three years stationed in Holland (in Limburg, near Maastricht) and Colorado Springs.
