My wife and I have been doing some serious cleaning. Found this photo this morning from the Fall of 1982. Pre-Lycra:

Never said sucker, just different priorities for the cash. For usage there's not a physical device I use much less than the phone so dollar to use it's a high value item. I just can't get behind a g note for something you throw out in 2 years on average. Yeah you can do 4 or 6 years or whatever the case, but tech should be going cheaper not more expensive and there's a ton of crap in the new phones I wouldn't use or want and it would just get in the way - finger print readers, iris readers, edged glass - pass for me.
It's like this directional impact warning system that vibrates your seat on a new Tahoe or Suburban. What? Why? - easy way to get to a $70k+ msrp asking price I suppose.

Have you tried the machine next to the pharmacy at Walmart?

I didn't notice the Benotto tape, from the vantage point of my 3rd tier phone. I had a bike with it, and liked it. An 87, I believe. No padding, of course, but men were men in those days.

It was a 55 or 56 and yes, it was a little tall for me. I'm 5'7" but have a slightly long inseam for my height. My preferred frame size in traditional measurement is 53 c-c for both seat and top tubes.

I also have a corncob freewheel kicking around that I should mount. The only way the terrain could be more amenable is if it was always downhill. They are very pleasing to the eye, if not the legs.
