huh? because someone doesn't like lame bars they're labeled a "retro grouch"
I have a serotta ti concours and an caad7. no panniers or "anti -tech". (I have another serotta and a lemond in the living room--but they aren't for me)
you'll have to explain the "tech" behind lamebars.
again, people at the highest level of this sport won't ride lame bars. reply with "buh, buh, buh I'm not a racer". these are
all race bikes being discussed here. aside from a few trek pilot style bikes, these are all straight race bikes being discussed here. so if you don't respect the opinions of the people who these frames are designed for--then whats the point?
seriously, you try and diss racers
and rivendell in the same breath. you're a bit off message, no?
if you like lame bars explain why. don't try and call someone (lol, who you don't even know) out and say "you're retro grouch if you don't like these bars that are kinked in several areas".
wtf
