That’s just the inspiration I need!
I find this to be true. Vintage cycling gears & downtube shifts work leg muscles differently - as those brifter folks just sit 'n click to maintain a cadence, instead of 'legging it out' at different cadences and with more out-of-saddle efforts.

oh, ... it is an established fact that @non-fixie regularly inspires us with uniquely appropriate cycles and bits. But those bells on every one, must he ride so courteously? Or recklessly?
