I was commuting on my 1979 Fuji Sports 10 with moustache bars. It's a 16 mile commute on a popular bike route. I dropped a guy on a late model carbon Ciocc. He came back up to me when I dropped my chain in about a mile. We rode and talked for a bit. He does the computers for the Ciocc importer in New York City, so he gets a deal on the new stuff.
Anyhoo, he looked at my bike in disbelief relative to my speed and said, "That's not your only bike. Is it?" ..... Best compliment I've gotten on the road.
