Tonight i rode my MTB (96 Schwinn s9.3 with Noleen linkage fork... yeah. old) to the minimart for smokes because it's raining and i had just fettled my Kilo.

Initial thoughts:
-why is my ass getting SO WET (answer:Onza "Rip" mud type knobbies circa 96... i literally bought 4 pair when they were available new, though, and haven't ridden it since easily 2007)
-why am i SO SLOW (bike weighs easily 30+ lbs)
-why are the bars SO WIDE
-PACE PEDALING DOES NOTHING ZOMG
-i have a huge dead spot in my pedal stroke at bottom dead center after riding fixed.
