Clydes make me feel....
I am average weight, bike a lot of mountain road distance, fairly fastish. I am stunned how many Clydes I see on bikes, and how powerful they (very often) are. But the one thing that makes them (generally) stand apart from the standard roadie is attitude... they smile, actually seem to enjoy the hard work, and have an infectious good vibe. It's f*****g inspirational.
