I just posted in the Introductions section, so you can read more there - I just sold the 412 tonight, but wanted to sing her praises and introduce myself in the Road Cycling section. As for riding impressions, it was a sweet introduction to road biking, and I can understand the appeal of classic steel.

I now have a Trek 1200 on order, and that'll be my ride in another week or two. I made the switch primarily because I want as much reliability as I can get for longer rides, and something worth upgrading over time. Not that the old bike wouldn't be great, but it was Trek's entry level bike a quarter century ago, so I can't see putting a lot of money into it. Besides, she went to a good home, and will be a daily commuter now.
