Several years ago, my son took over the “10 speed” bike I got back around 1980. I have lots of fond memories on that bike over the years. Hardly anything is original except the headset and front and rear derailleurs (which are workhorse Suntour Vx parts that really show their age). There are some Campy, Cinelli, Suntour Superbe, Shimano, and even Huret parts thrown in the mix! Its not light, but its rugged and functional.
When he first rode it, I had to slam the seat, but he was very excited to have it. By now he has grown into it and it’s about the right size.
He has gotten a lot of good use out of it during high school, and now he has his own memories from it I am sure.
Whatever price my dad paid for that bike, it was a bargain.
