Isotope that DeRosa is a sweetie
I started out riding a track bike, well after the kids bike Huffy's and the like. The track bike was my first 'real' bike. Then I got a 1983 Nashbar touring bike from my brother. It had a triple chain ring, racks, fenders, and the works. I wanted to get into extended touring. I still have that bike today and ride it at least once a week. I race road and cyclocross too so I have those bikes as well...
