Been riding my sorta (2001) old school steel bike of late.

My limits for old school stop at the time before brifters - I want brifters.

I took a good flogging here a while back when I said I wasn't impressed by the high end bike I rented in Europe... and I have some otherwise decent bikes...

Sorry - for me, that old steel frame is simply the best. Call me whatever you want - a geezer, a retro grouch... tell me that I'm not sophisticated enough to know what a real bike should be like...

No matter.

Soft but stiff, zero road noise or buzz, handles like its on rails (and yes, it holds 28's) - and it is proper fast. I've been setting PB's on it all week.

-Simply the best riding frame I've ever been on-

I'm no longer lusting after the latest trend, frame that is x% faster or x% stiffer, the latest gizmo or doohickie - all to go .25 mph faster, maybe - that will be outdated tech once next years bigger better faster dumaflagie hits the market -

Give me the ole tried and true.
