My dad raced and rode this bike as a twelve speed many miles before I was born, now I ride it every day as a fixed gear. My wife suggested it be christened "Rita", and so it is.

She's tried and true, and won't see rest anytime in the near future.

UPDATE: Soon to be geared up with new wheels and all the original mid-70s Dura Ace stuff.
