Great ride on my classic '85 Fuji Del Rey, now that I replaced the saddle and tweaked the seatpost and stem down a hair. I found that I could keep up with a guy on a real nice Cervelo with aero bars. He may have passed me at first, but he certainly didn't leave me in the dust. I shifted up to the 52T chainring, sped up a tad, and was able to gently keep pace about 25-30 feet behind him. All on a heavy steel framed (24 lbs), "old school" vintage Fuji 12 speed!
