I've always kind of regretted selling a bike that I built from the
frame-up back in the late 70's.  I bought the frame from an LBS called
"Turin Bike" on Clark Street (I think) in Chicago in and about 1977
and equipped it with mostly Campy Record components of the era - along
with, of course, the obligatory Cinelli bars and stem.  That was one
nice riding bike - a road racing bike of that time, actually.

But then a couple of kids came along and I had to give some stuff up
for a decade or two to make ends meet.  I finally turned my attention
back toward high quality products in the early part of the Twenty-
First Century, bought one of those orange Rambouillet frames, and
built it up with some darn nice state of the art components.  Man, how
I wish I would've had it 35 years ago - I don't think I'd have ever
purchase another bike (except that Surly 1x1 I have that serves as my
general purpose do-it-all knock around bike).
