meh, it could be the reverse. for me it seems that what was a Great Machine suddenly is not so after riding others bicycles. the age of a bike really has nothing to do with how good the bike is, and i just enjoy the new and old bikes. everyone on the forums seems to think there is a Grail bike of some sort, well i don't agree. get one that fits, good tires and components.......there you go another great fill in the blank touring, racing, gravel or commuting bicycle. i have yet to find any bicycle so Supreme that no other bicycle can come close. never. so there is hope for all of us.
