Good score, it's always fun to put some good parts on the commuter. Sadly, you have no idea how happy I was when I finally swapped my 15-year-old GS-100 parts (think proto-Acera) for SRAM X.7. "Wait, you mean now it'll shift when I tell it to, exactly how many gears I tell it to, and not jump on me when I stand to mash? Sweet!"
That is the
exact same reaction i had on my first post-rebuild ride.
I have no idea what Dura Ace feels like. Does it shine with an aura like Marcellus Wallace's briefcase?
Absolutely, plus I appear to have developed a nondescript European accent when talking to other cyclists.
...and hand gestures, lots of hand gestures..... and I'm going through a lot more bidons (they were waterbottles last week
), I seem to have developed an inexplicable urge to throw the empty ones in the general direction of pedestrians as I'm riding along, some of which get subsequently inspired to run behind me for a bit shouting inaudible statements and waving a fist in the air, they seem to want to encourage me to ride faster (the pedestrians, not the discarded bidons
)
