What better way to start off a Rest Day Saturday (the first one in about two years) than by throwing a grenade into the BF Peloton?

Don't hijack the thread. That grenade appears to be steel by the way.

Why be mean about it?? We are not all racers, nor do most who ride bikes give a flyin pig about racing.

Retro, sure, but Idiots?

Who said anything about racing? I race steel, and I'm a retro idiot (build my own wheels, ride 9-spd D/A, etc.)

They are also the ugliest goddamn bikes on earth, with their cartoonishly huge tubes and nauseating color schemes. Maybe I'm a "retro idiot", but I'll take my steel Torelli over a fugly Corporate-dale any day.
