Initially, it was a hand-me-down, red 20" Schwinn that was probably from around 1961. Nothing fancy about it at all, but even then, I knew I loved riding. About 12 years later, it was a 1978 Raleigh Super Course. It was the gold-colored version, and it was a huge improvement over the couple (stolen from me) pretty cheap 10-speeds. I rode that thing over 200 miles one summer day in 1979.
Coming back to cycling, the bike that got me re-introduced was this one. I found and acquired a 1972 Fuji Finest. Wow! What a revelation that was.
This from a couple years ago. It's still set up the same.
