Wow, lot's more love here than on the 41. LOL. That's my 1st road bike, been riding it since '75 as best as I can recollect. Chomoly butted frame, med qual components. Sadly I'm going to lose the high flange hub on the front when I replace the wheel next week. (did the rear already) It's original smooth wall alloy and I guess I've been lucky not to blow tires at higher pressures. Maybe later I'll put new rims on the original hubs again, but for now just going inexpensive ready-to-go from REI. They have a great mech that does a great job checking the spoke tension and alignment before I even pick it up.

And ya, it feels good.
