And I would probably consider 90's being on the edge of classic. Heck, I'm hearing 90's tunes popping up on the local classic rock station. Time marches on.
90s was 20 years ago, that **** is ancient at this point. especially in the lightning fast world of bike cycle industries.

the only rock station left in NYC is a "classic" rock station, and some of what they play is nirvana, pearl jam, metallica, along with the usual zepplin and beatles kiss etc

Nobody at work got it. :( But I have three more Halloween events to wear it to. It should play off better there.
No Delorean.

How long can the pain that is "Steel vs. Carbon - Total Weight" continue? Puhleeeze Billy, put it out of our misery.

That makes it much more clear. I was kind of mystified about the 9 speed thing. If you absolutely need the range of a triple, I can see why 9-speed would be attractive.

Oh man. The classic rock station here plays a LOT of 60's 70's and 80's. Only recently have they thrown in some really early 90's like REM and U2. As soon as I hear STP, Weezer, or Nirvana I'm immediately dropping everything that day and going home to have a beer and pay respects to my now officially dead youth. At 33, I can still pretend I'm a kid.

This.

rjones28 10-22-15 10:19 AM
And we'll want a full review.

Including how faster you would be if it were a full crabon fibre frame.

WhyFi 10-22-15 10:21 AM
By "full review," Jones means that we'll want to see video, as well.

jtaylor996 10-22-15 10:21 AM
Maybe if it were a road monkey bike. That's clearly a mountain monkey bike... I ain't into that stuff.

That thing is so tiny, it'll just fly up the hills!

Slick tires. Clearly a flat-bar road bike.

This.

And not a video after you get used to it. We want one from the first time riding it.

jtaylor996 10-22-15 10:24 AM
I'd pay money to see someone slam some drops on that thing and ride it.

I'm guessing 4" wheels. Spin up real fast.

C'mon man. That thing costs less than one good-quality tire.
