I bought my Royal Blue TA18 in 1985 and assembled it myself. The rack that came with it didn't fit, so it was immediately replaced, and has since been replaced again. I still have the bike, though the only original components remaining are:
- frame
- crankset
- front derailleur
- front hub
- handlebars
- headset
It was converted to 700C wheels about 2003.
My best guess is there's probably about 60,000 kilometers on the bike. It hasn't seen much use the last 2-3 years, but the prospects for riding this year are certainly looking much better. I'm looking forward to getting back in the saddle more.
