Confess about your geared ride

what is misterbaxter saying

has he not heard of carbon or titanium?

old bikes can look nice, but so can modern bikes

i know which one i would chose to ride (something to do with brakes that fucking work for a start)

Re: brakes, I used to think that until I used some c-rec levers used on v old 105 callipers, they are 20yrs old and work better than my DA 7800 (both using open pro's)?
