Robert Millar's bike. Not the exact one, but effectively identical. On eBay.



Yeah, it is a 30 year old bike and a new midrange road bike is stiffer, shifts better, etc.

But this vintage racer can do the job - it was good enough for Robert Millar to wear polka dots on. And in another 30 years it will be a precious heirloom piece of cycling history. The other one - not sure. Will it be in videos like

Robert Millar - Tour de France 1984 Stage 11.mpg - YouTube

?
I may have or may not have crushed a few of these
