My first 10-speed was acquired after the frame of my old three-speed rusted through and broke. Yeah, I rode it year 'round - even in Cleveland winters.
Anyway, my first was a brand new '74 Fuji all-steel Special Tourer with the money I earned cutting lawns in the far-west Cleveland suburbs...
Pic from internet - not my bike, but it was an orange 23"-frame like this one...
