OK, we're all C&V-ers here. We like the old school stuff. Perhaps some of like the old school stuff MORE than the newer technology that is out there, such as (but not limited to):
Carbon Fiber
Brifters
16 spoke (or fewer) wheels (for that matter, anything less than 24 spokes)
Non-lugged frames
etc.

BUT!!! (you knew this was coming, didn't you?)

Maybe... just maybe there is something of the old school that you never did like, and are very happy to use something of the "new school".

For me, I never did like the old fashioned lighting systems that relied on the tire-driven generators. I know that some of you fine folks really do like them, and I'm not questioning your taste and do not mean to offend. But that is one thing that I never did really get into. For some reason, I just never did like them, and am happy to use modern, battery operated lights, especially the blinkie rear ones. This is one area that I'm very grateful for modern technology. I don't feel any remorse in using them, even though I'm a card carrying C&V-er!

Feel free to discuss.
