Haha, now if you had a 914-6, you could have avoided alot of grief.... :) Btw, a buddy had a 914 2.0 and it was a hoot to drive. Despite being underpowered, it handled really well and could keep up with most cars of its time. > My '82 Stumpjumper has a "Designed by Tim Neenon" on the chainstay which I > think is uber-cool. Agree, I recently picked up a 90s litespeed classic for cheap - $425 including serotta ti headsup adapter! What's great is that all the decals have been removed saved a small one on the left/non-drive chainstay which is the signature of W. David Lynskey! The signature just makes the bike look cool! It also doesn't hurt that the frame has the "classic european geometry" so the bike handles really well!
