Great story. I had nothing so classic - just a black nylon Eclipse bag hanging off the bars of my Schwinn LeTour.
I agree with others - back then there was no such thing as "Riv-ish." In fact, back then there were few, if any, self-identified bike subcultures (at least on the east coast, in the pre-mountain bike era) and bikes were pretty much just bikes. Of course, there were beautiful Italian racing bikes to covet, but for the most part a suburban teenager in the late 70's just rode around for fun, occasionally pretending they were starring in their own version of "Breaking Away." :) -Pete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
