I would say the Raliegh Team pro, as a production bike with 753, full SR, and a real racing pedigree, epitomized the vintage lightweight era. Either that or a '71 Cinelli in silver with all the candy.
But that's just my opinion. I'm sure this will be a hot topic.

What does everybody think the pinnicle of the vintage lightweight era might be? I was thinking that at some point, a particular frame might be considered the high point of the era before index shifting, tig, carbon, etc. I kinda always thought that maybe a nice, lugged 753 frame would be it. Anybody think otherwise?
