is it weird that the geared bike thread on the SS/FG forum is one my favorite threads on bikeforums?
i still ride fixed, but more about road bikes lately. especially somewhat vintage ones (not like, C&V old timey vintage, but like...early 90s vintage lol) of course theres the road bike forum...buuuut its a bit too, spandexy new school older guy fred-ish haha if that makes sense.
i want a "ex-psuedo hipster 30 something year-olds that grew out of the 'sweet fixay' phase and appreciate nice road bikes and are just starting to wear bibs" forum
....or something. i dunno i should get back to work

Fresh Garbage
The road forum sucks because in there anything that is over 5 years old and has >25mm tires is slow and obsolete.

I personally love 90's roadies, and if you can go fast on a carbon machine, you can do it on a 90's roadie. I had a bridgestone radac (circa 1991 i think) and it was every bit as fast as my carbon rig which I bought in 2011 (but nowhere near as comfortable). The only difference were the downtube shifters (but I love those).
Haha! Biopace chainrings! I had one on my first first gear bike.
DO IT... Kleins are pronworthy if done right.

I was riding the other day along the river, averaging 21-22, but pushing pretty good on my awesome 93 c'dale i love to death. Then all the sudden a 55+yo guy, pretty big guy really, just smokes me on a late 70's - early 80's road bike. Im like ****, he put me in my place lol. I tried to keep up but, nope
