Here is what I have, it's a 1984 Schwinn Peloton that was made for them by Panasonic it has a Columbus tube frame with Suntour group set rolling on Araya aero tubular rims. It has been a good old bike
I have a 1988 Schwinn Premis thats Columbus Tenax (whatever that may be). Got bored and recently repainted it with 2 colors from a 1930 Model A Ford that we had in the shop (It's now 2-tone Dark Olive and a color that Ford called "chicle"). I love this bike.
I also have a 1985 Cannondale road bike (missing many many parts, so I use it as a paint mule), a 1984 Raleigh "Racing USA" Super Course, and a trusty 1982 Schwinn Continental. Eventually, I'll get around to getting the Cannondale on the raod, but that means having to spend money, and that hurts.
