Baby boomer here. I have a SS with a tensioner, made from my old rando bike. I ride it for the simplicity and challenge. There is something liberating about no computer, no gears, grinding up wind and hills, and spinning my legs off going back down. Anti tech, like being a kid again.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to mistake me for a hipster, or being stylish!
