What a first post.... I foresee proud fredliness in my future.
What's bigger than a Clydesdale? .....I'm a former Clydesdale roadie - 25 years ago in college I was 6'3", 215 pounds and 7% body fat.... rode 200 - 300 miles a week AND played hockey.... then life happened - Married, Job, Kids, Responsibility... you know the story. I stopped riding and put on 70 pounds! Now, I plan to dust off (it literally has 1/4" of dust on it) the old bike and ride again. I'm debating whether to upgrade or ride as is (early 90's Dura-Ace, non-indexed down tube shifter, original black Look pedals, Canondale 3.1? frame, Cinelli bar and stem)..... I like some of the new technology but refuse to pay the ransom for it when my antique works just fine...Too bad my old RoadGear "beer cooler" lid died a long time ago. Maybe I'll pull out the old Bell V-1pro lid just to mess with folks.... !

Does this make me an Elephantine Fred?

I've known the significance of the yellow jersey for almost 4 decades and I will STILL WEAR a plain bright yellow Jersey so the yahoo's in the pickups can see me.... Hard to miss seeing someone wearing a yellow jersey with a 50" chest!
