Confess about your geared ride

Because some people continue to perpetrate bullshit about frame materials?

^ I find most of that post to be complete tosh

but if people are stuck with the only choices being aluminium or steel i can see why the hipsters stuck in the past choose old steel bikes!

road bikes and hipsters seem to go straight into some time portal bypassing the modern developments in cycling

and us lot - having a mid life crisis? never!

It's a fair point about other materials - yes, titanium bikes are lovely, but still very expensive for a properly-made one; carbon fibre / composites are good too. But most of the newer road bikes I see on the roads are still aluminium. And regardless, what I was trying to say was, the reason why lots of people still like older steel bikes is that you can get something that performs very well for the kind of riding that many people do - around town or out on longer day-rides - for the cost of a top-end saddle, let alone a whole bike made out of onanium.
