Great post!
I bought my first quality bike, a PX-10, in 1968 but sold it a year later to buy to a Mondia (with Campagnolo components) and then in turn sold it to buy my '71 Cinelli which I still own. I bought the Raleigh first for use as a commuter and then utilized it to tote my son around until he grew too large. The bike (Raleigh Sports)has been subsequently relegated to occasional grocery duties, and in spite of it's relatively low mojo factor I can not see parting with it.
