But the bike industry is also conspiring to destroy all those bikes. I've heard they (the 'industry') dress up in super tight jeans, grow beards, quit showering for a few weeks, and use Pabst-scented mouthwash then go around buying up all the good lugged frames which they render useless for multi-speed purposes by shaving off the downtube shifter bosses. To make the bikes even less likely to be bought by someone hoping for a retro ride they install 5" wide flat handlebars, pink painted rims, and flat spotted tires. Like Damon Wayans once said, "C O N spiracy."
