Nope, I plan on taking the Schwinn. I think I'll ride it until it doesn't. Downhill mountain bike has a certain appeal, but for the present, I'm hooked on the road bike.

New stuff really isn't my style, unless I have to buy something new to stand the rigors of tough trail abuse. I ride antique motorcycles and collect vintage cars, so a vintage bicycle fits quite well.

I'm going to stand out as it is in jeans, steel toes, and western shirt. I will at least wear a helmet and gloves. I'll be there for the love of pedaling, if someone wants to look down on me for riding a well maintained antique, I probably won't notice. I'll smile to everyone all the same.
