I would definitely say Poululla deserves his bike. I am impressed by the numbers. Ditto, Weasel.
Me, I ride a 1983 Trek 760 (racing model). Reynolds 531. Suntour Superbe components. 10kgs. A sweet old bike. No rust. Got it for my 16th birthday. Entered my first criterium a week later. We've covered a lot of miles together.
I still need a good 3 hours + to tackle 100km. At the moment, my 250+ km a week are on ice due to an Achilles Tendon injury.
But, I will soon be getting a new bike. And, it will be hot. Will I deserve it? Absolutely. It is going to be my present to myself when I finish my Ph.D. dissertation (we historians take a long time).
So even if I can't ride right now, I am writing like hell.
Cheers,
Jamie
