LOL I grew up in Montana when I got my first 10 speed, an Azuki, the shop had a racing fuji tubular tires and all in crisp white at 400 dollars or so it was wildly out of my budget (paid $160 for the azuki) and impractical.
I still have a fantasy of going back home and finding it NOS at a garage sale or similar
