Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's the handlebars really. It just looks so comfortable, and the trainer is an added bonus.

Since it comes with flat pedals and you'll need clip ins for racing that fine vintage machine with custom handlebar setup, might as well go ahead and buy these pedals. Looks like a great deal:
