In the 60's I had a Sears bike built in Austria with a "Campy" groupo. I rode it to college and to work in the local lumber mills. I think I was the only 10 speed rider in Humboldt County. After graduation I ended up in SoCal. I bought a Peugeot PX10E with silk sew ups about 1970 or 71 and rode it around Orange County. There were very few serious cyclists at that time. After a few years bought some clincher rims which made life a lot better. Big miles didn't come until the bike boom around the Olympics in 1984. Rode and raced a Ciocc with full 50th Anniversary Campy Super Record. Still riding. Have all my bikes except the Sears. My wife gets more upset with each addition.
