Two spring to mind:
Cilo bike in Vilseck Germany. This shop was a combo motor cycle + bicycle shop in a nearby town. Upstairs in the attic they had rows of old road bikes. In particular, there were about half a dozen Cilo racers, built with full 531 and full Dura Ace (pre indexed), painted a pretty white and red. The exchange rate worked out to about $500 dollars. But money was tight, and I had other bikes, and, well,
I'd also like to have my Trek 410 back. It was my first solid road bike that fit me, and I had many happy times on it. There was the century that turned into 130 miles (just a little farther and we'll be back on the route!), my camping trip from Petoskey to Traverse City, ah, memories. I traded it towards the Marinnoni, so there's no tragedy, but just out of semtiment, I'd like to have the bike on which I learned to be a serious rider.
