I had the same bike, my first "real" roadie, not counting a $100 '76 Free Spirit and a $10 Schwinn Varsity. I think I paid $250 used in 1987, after going in for an Ironman and getting sticker shock,. I traded it several months later for a Sony Discman and 20 CD's. At the time, a great deal.

Did you have a another bike to ride at the time of the trade?
I’ve gone periods without a bike before. Sometimes years, sometimes weeks. I hope, and intend on never being without again though. For as long as my body and mind let me ride...
