Confess about your geared ride

I am sure in twenty years time there will be people searching for SRAM rival and a caad6 frame for the vintage period piece arguing it has more character than its modern equivalent.

In this case character is possibly a synonym for a bit wilfully shit.

Not at all. Old lugged steel frames are excellent at what they do, but you wouldn't want to ride one competitively in most modern competitions. And yes you're right, in 20 years' time there will be people paying through the nose for current carbon bling. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

Character is more a synonym for 'I don't care I just like it, so there' ;)
