Our frame was built for Terry by Wilier. I saw US-made lugged ones in the Terry Forums which had a for-sale section, and they were mid and late '80s. Yours could date back that far. I don't recall any details about straight bars versus drop, though there were straight-bar models. Mrs. Road Fan's bike has the original drops, 3T stem, and Ergopower levers. I suspect your straight bars were add-ons.
Takes me a while... So you're saying that the Classic model predates the 1993 date listed on bikepedia. Do you know when Terry started marketing the Classic?
