How's your set-up.....when it's NOT "staged"???
We all love the "hot 'r' not" thread.... We love the "what road bike do you have?" thread....... But how does your ride present itself when it's decked out for a real ride?

Christmas day ride (it was pretty warm here at the time). This is when I got back home.

I called mine an '82 because that's the year that I bought it new. It may have been sitting around the shop for a couple years.

It was very likely an '82! The America had models from 75 to 83, and then a special edition in '87. It looks like they got the awesome 18-speed Cyclone drive train starting with the '78 model that's part of what makes this bike special. I really feel your loss. It's the kind of thing that makes me really bitter against drivers sometimes. I know accidents happen, but they just cause so much more damage when they do.
