Good stuff, thanks for sharing that!

Love to see those vintage cycles out there and being used. Also good to see those baby-boomers and seniors still riding them in their wool jerseys, leather hairnets and racing hats! That race really harkens back to a simpler time when steel was king, DT shifters weren't "dangerous", bikes rode like Cadillacs and shiny chrome ruled! When an Italian bike or British, French or American bike actually meant they were made in that country. Imagine that! They really were the glory days before brifters, souless carbon frames, lycra and Cat-Eye computers took over.

Glad to see other folks love those glory days as much as I do!
