When I was a kid all I wanted was new bike, but,the first few were 2nd hand,when I turned 12 my Dad thought it was time to get the boy "a real bike"so off to the LBS,we were living in the UK then and everyone wanted a "Hetchins" (I should be so lucky) but I did get a "Holdsworth pro"in orange and blue,campagnolo was a bit pricey so was Zeus equiped, I realise now how classy that bike was, and now its a "Classic" it was my first love,still is ! what was your first "NEW" bike ?
