You'd be on a PX-10...like Merckx gave to his manager and replaced with a De Rosa in peugeot paint.
Hah! I remember reading the 1974 article in Bicycling and deciding that I wanted a De Rosa (plus, my girlfriend's uncle owned a De Rosa). At the time I owned a Raleigh International, all Campy NR, which I raced in a few criteriums, so I was in fact "living the dream" and riding a bike not too far off what Eddy was riding.
