I had one given to me. It was way to small for me. But it was my first road bike and I loved it. It was so fast and light. I’m a big guy and I did a lot of power lifting at the time. I would ride that bike so hard I could see the frame twisting beneath me.
I had it through my college days and used it frequently to ride to class.
It’s an aluminum frame made before they had aluminum welding figured out. It has steel joints and the aluminum tubes were epoxied to the joints. It was really light weight. Fascinating how they built it. I should have kept mine. I let my brother borrow it. He didn’t understand the quick releases and destroyed a rim. Then it was taking up space and I needed space. I should have converted it to single speed. It was a great bike.
