And how!!!
Side note your bikes are so clean and concours I'd be afraid to ride them among regular folk (this is a complement)
Thanks. It's funny. Lot's of folks assume I baby my bikes because they are clean and scratch free. But the reality is, I ride the snot out of them. Lots of sweat and dirt, jumping up and down curbs, etc. I'm just careful when I park them. I don't understand the mentality of, "Hey, scratches and dents are a normal part of a bike's life. No biggie." To me that just seems more like laziness or lack of care. It's so easy to pay attention.
Yesterday on an unrelated search I stumbled across this photo. To me it epitomizes the perfect ergonomic positioning for casual riding. No, it's not efficient for high performance out-of-the-saddle-climbing, but for cruising and commuting this nails it. I can just feel the comfort. Plus it's a cool photo.
