Speaking of the "artistic method," when I bought my bike, I asked the shop owner, "How old are you?"

He said, "Twenty-seven."

I said, "Ok, I'm old enough to be your father. Would you set this bike up the way you would for your old man?"

It took him about 15 minutes to have me completely dialed in. I'm sure I could be riding that in some ways would be more efficient. But for me that's no longer what it's all about.
