Thanks folks for not directing negativity at me!

But 'water off a duck's back' comes to mind or 'thick skinned'.
And thanks to SBW and BikeForum and the mods.
I think it has a place. Maybe C&V, not to offend Purists, who suffer/endure RestoMod bike threads. AND - You certainly get 'heckled'(?) posting a 90s/early00s bike in Road, so not there.
Reading this thread makes me think - Change is hard when the rut is comfortable.
FWIW = I never,
ever used the word 'brifters' in my many (over th years) requests for an 8/9/10 (sub)Forum. See - even I did not get everything I wanted. - OMG, where to post 10speed roadies? What ever will I do?

Life goes on. Ride all your bikes, regardless of where you post 'em..
My late 90's Pinarello Cadore has a home.
