Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I've been a long ride road cyclist for over 50 years (since 1966).

Long rides by definition means all weather. Add in year round commuting and I probably have over 10,000 wet miles enjoyed in short intervals and 100+ mile rides.

FWIW I do try to avoid wet riding in beach areas, but I'm always ready to take whatever comes my way.
