Follis packed for Schenectady NY to Columbus OH move

In 1975 I moved back to my hometown after 4 1/2 years in NY. Riding buddy Bill McMurray joined me for the trip before heading off to college. I bought this machine used from Ben Serotta when he still had his shop in Saratoga Springs. The pink water bottle was pitched out of the pack of the 1974 World Championship Amateur Mens road race in Montreal by the eventual silver medalist Ryszard Szurkowski. Sadly I no longer have either the bike or the bottle.

I took part in a roller demonstration in a mall in State College PA mid-trip after a chance encounter with some of the cyclists in that area! I did remove the bags for that event....
