you may indeed prefer older bikes (which is a completely fine & dandy personal preference to have), but i'm curious to know how you arrived at your current position of authority to speak for all 2.7 million chicagoans?



that's quite the heaping serving of a subjective, sweeping generalization presented as fact. some older bikes may be better than some newer bikes, but i assure you that some older bikes are FAR worse than some newer bikes.






I spent the weekend spiffing up my fair weather commuter now that old man winter seems to be releasing his stranglehold on the windy city. I also got the steerer tube cut down. It was sticking up above the stem by about 1.5" and, while it wasn't hurting anything, aesthetically it really bothered me. Now the the rhino horn is gone, it looks normal.
