I completely agree. That POS is only a 12 speed, and the Ekar is 13. And that front derailleur? About time those things went in the bins. I mean, so outdated! At least that bike uses disc brakes and not those crappy rim grabbers.

Of course you wouldn’t. That Campy SR groupset is built for riding.

Luckily I have a great riding bike and enjoy riding it all the time. You seem to think I don't ride, which is an unusual assumption to make about someone you don't even know, not even casually.

That would be like me assuming you have zero bike mechanic skills.

I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you over who rides more or who can change a flat faster.

Making some serious inquiries. But it will probably be the original Ekar. On a Time or Pinarello.
