I regret I sold my 1975 Raleigh Gran Sport in 1979. It hadn't yet occurred to me that I could own more than one bike. On the other hand, maybe I didn't have enough cash to own two, but maybe I could have made it work. I bought myself a brand new PX10, and I only owned it for two or three months before it got stolen. I used it as my commuting bike which was unwise. Then I saw the wisdom of having a beater bike and from then on, I had two bikes, a nice one and a beater.

A Bianchi TSX Ultralight. Ovalized tubes, pearlized paint, beautiful lugs with panto like engraving, ENGLISH THREADS!, chrome stays.... Celeste Flite titanium, yellow Michelins. I had a Time fork painted silver to replace the harsh chrome columbus fork. Ultegra 9 speed. Raced it, rode in on group rides all week. Never game me a bit of backtalk. Sold it to justify buying an aluminum Pinarello when everyone wanted aluminum. Derp!
