Oh.
Well yeah I see that dumb claim all the time across the forums of this site, so I bet many here see it a lot. I didnt connect that. I just went back to your first pic and see that the modern bike pic changed. I didnt get it when you had a flat bar model. Now that its a drop bar, it makes more sense. I figured you were commenting on bikes both back then and now and were showing slightly how they are actually similar too, due to the flat bars.



^ me for sure.
