Well, I knew I had anachronistic tendencies when I took my '73 Competition in to a local shop for a tuneup and owner said "You're not going to ride that are you"? "Sure that's what it was made for, what would you do with it"?......He said I'd hang it on my wall. This is a shop that has a $10,000 Orbea sitting on the floor.
Fortunately both the owner and service manager appreciate old steel and my old Raleigh was the Belle of the Ball.
Glad to know I'm not the only old fart who loves riding these old bikes.
