My first road bike was a Schwinn Traveller III. But my first "race" bike was a Basso with Excel Rino cranks/post, Campy SR rear der, Campy NR front der and downtube shifters, Campy Tipo hubs 32H, GP4, Wolber tubulars, Modolo brakes, some no name stem and bars, I forget the seat. 53x42, 15-21 (Junior gearing).
It appeared (along with me) in a flyer for a now defunct department store formerly based in Hartford, CT:
Bike looks stock so it was probably 1983 or 1984. TV ad was from later. Not sure how I ended up on it but after someone showed me the paper I went to the store and grabbed a whole bunch of flyers
By the way I'm wearing a Brancale Giro helmet, the "aero" version of their normal one (name escapes me). There was no Styrofoam in that helmet - if you wacked it against something it just shattered. Can't believe it was considered a helmet.
