Lotus Classic.
I bought it in 1984 at LBS in Mission Viejo, a week before they had an olympic road race in Mission Viejo. I rode my bike to the course to see the race. While I was watching the women's race, I realized it would be much more interesting to see it on TV, so I came back home to watch it. I was right. I was glad to see Alexi Grewall won the race, otherwise I couldn't even get close to the finish line because of too many people if I was on the course.

Hey, thanks! Ya, ya, I've been hearing that a lot about the Campy stuff, and I have to agree. However, I didn't build it, and wouldn't have even bought it if my pal hadn't given me a good deal on it. After riding it though, I was hooked, and couldn't stop thinking about it. I had decided not to get it but the last straw was when my wife encouraged the purchase. Now I ride on roads, too.

Got my first road bike last week, a Colnago Dream.
that I can justify it. I like my LBS to be close to me and
no one close carries the Colnago.
It is beautiful!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Here is my race machine. I took the picture from a webcam and so the quality is not all that good.

Here's my ride: 2003 Raleigh Super Course; All 105 components. I love this bike! Raleigh isn't one of the top names, but this is a great value.
