On the contrary, that is the very first modern road bike, the primogenitor of the road bike as we know it. That is the first compact geometry road frame, born from mountain bike DNA jumping the trail to the pavement. As a matter of interest to cycling affizzionati, particularly those with a historical tack, that is a very special bike, perhaps the most special road bike ever, because it literally ushered in a completely new era.

To Lazyass's point, they're correct it's not completely original. However, having such an interesting piece of cycling history, even in modified condition such as it is, is really kind of cool, IMO.
