I used to pass through the Flint Hills on my way to the Winfield Music Festival every September...

Arizona has long had a consistently reliable winter monsoon, along with the fact the Phoenix metropolitan region doesn't bother with storm drains.

Perhaps the bike was stolen...

Scanned image of yours, truly, from back in the spring of 1975 at the Tour of Dixie, St George, UT. Other competitors included John Howard (who set a land speed record of 152.2 miles per hour (245 km/h) while motor-pacing on a bicycle on July 20, 1985 on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats), Paul Deem and Jerry Ash. I was riding a Scottish-built Bantel "Hugh Porter", on my beloved Brooks Pro saddle. Behind me were my team mates from the Phoenix Consumer Cycle Club.

That De Bernardi is pretty clean looking.
I won't be riding, today...

These machines from the 60s, 70s & 80s have a beauty that just cannot be duplicated with today's exotic materials.

You have loads of lumens on that bike.
One of the towns we stop in before rafting the Arkansas.

This was on the elevator door at the Denver Art Museum. I don't believe it's an Elliot Erwitt, I just don't recall who took this shot.

Though I've never owned a frame, I've ALWAYS used Cinelli's handlebars, especially the #65 Criterium. It was the closest to the track-bike pista style. And, is that a PX- or PY-10 in the second image?
Nowadays, I pretty much confine myself to riding my '89 Kestrel MXZ MTB. The rest tend to gather dust in the garage or attic. The Paramount is my wife's.

No toe clips on those pedals? Or, are they just not found anymore...? I've never had a bike with straight blades. I usually like a little rake to absorb some road shock.

I like your set-up, very '80s looking. The blue-orange is very complementary (color opposites). As a matter of fact I had a tandem custom built back in '79 with the same color scheme. The complete bike weighed in at 32 lbs (with empty H2O bottles). Later in years I've modified it with more upright h-bars and a wider-range cluster. We rarely ride it, anymore, so I may put it on the market. It's all Reynolds 531.

I noticed this bike in Boston for its floral arrangement, then saw it had a derailleur along with a battery pack and electric-driven rear hub. Boston is hilly, though...
Also, if you're serious about taking good bike photos, read this article. Of course, when I'm just walking/riding around, I merely capture them au naturale...

When I rode for the Consumer Cycle Club, it was headquartered at a shop called Barbieri's, located on 36th St just north of Indian School. The store is still there, now called the Bike Barn. There was another closer to ASU near Lemon and McClintock, called Bikes n Things. There I learned how to lace and true wheels and repack headsets and bottom brackets. The strip center it was in is now long gone, and now all components are sealed.
Those were the good ol' days...

Let me guess... the Hayden Mills. Tempe has changed so much since the 70s.
Nice, stable looking machine. And, I do like that h-bar tape!
One of the few shops where you can still find steel frame sets.
