Obviously you kids all have trouble making your bikes last...

I drive a 1988 (eighty-eight) CycleTech Crossroads MTB complete with the first ever Scott tri-bar, bar ends, blackburn lo-rider front pannier rack, MEC rear rack, and mud guards.

With toolkit, four empty paniers, and two empty water bottles, the airport people once measured it at approx. 20kg. You guys would have to ride a century to get the exercise I get in a trip to the corner store.

Best of all, my frame apparently still has 12 years left on the warranty.
