All true.. I even pointed out that my Lightspeed on specifications has no comparison. However, the old steel has got something that I can't put into words. That is why I always ride them.
That is the reason a cherry 1979 Raleigh Professional would make me scream for joy, whereas, the latest, greatest and lightest wouldn't get a second look from me. In fact, if they were the same price, I would pick the vintage.
