Road cycling. I had a custom frame built in England and outfitted it with all Campagnola Record equipment. The thing was like riding a bicycle made by Ferarri. With the steep frame angles, it was a very quick handling bicycle. Coming down the canyon twisties was a thrill. It truly was a precision instrument. Very stiff frame made from Reynolds 753 tubing.
Kinda curious....who built your 753 ?
Had a Raleigh Team Pro 753 (Ilkeston) a while back...truly awesome bike...that tubing in the right builders hands was magic. Btw the Colnago C40, was in terms of the gross flex characteristics, virtually the same bike ( though thankfully with slack angles that made it a joy for centuries....and oddly enough a rocket in sprints...and still railed corners...contradictory ? yes, what can I say, Ernesto was a genius...as was Gerald O’Donovan who was the major contributor to the design of the 753 bike tube set ).
Now on a couple of Colnagos, a Ciocc, and a GIOS V107....and of course all Campy equipped.
And yeah raced for several decades....now just toodle putting in the miles in the country....
