Have you ever tried telling some young guy that there was basically only 2 types of frames: SLX or 531?
(ok, there was also 753 and SL, etc.)
They give ya the dumbest look.
"Back in my day".......Stewart Cooke, John Fuller, and his mate on the pink Paconi used to hammer those SLX frames 'round VFL park at 45kmh, and none of us young punks could pass them -- but try tellin' that to the young blokes.
