Garth:
The issue you want is July '82, and I have a copy of the article at home. It is a review of 6 top bikes, 3 Japanese and 3 Italian. I'm struggling to remember exactly here, but I think the Japanese bikes were a 3 Rensho, a Fuji Pro, and a Miyata Team (one of 'em had Dura Ace and one had Dura Ace AX, one was Suntour). The Italian bikes were a De Rosa, a Guerciotti and a Rossin (I think all 3 were Campy). As I recall the article concluded that all the bikes were pretty darn good. I'll attempt to dig it up, and could possibly scan it if anyone was interested (it must be 10 pages or so -- it would be a big Email!)
