Most of us don't even ride our bikes.

Your cog is slipping.
Mopeds are the new bikes anyway.

Can we at LEAST agree to ban the first person who talks about the lateral stiffness of their moped?

the beefy floorboards on my vespa make it laterally stiff and vertically compliant.

Frankly when it comes to mopeds I think torsional reactivity is the really important metric.

Well Here is my 1976-77 Trek TX-900 coaster brake bike for such a old bike it's light and fast.. someday this will be a full restore roadie .. but until I'm Rolling in Dough .. this is my fun ride.. 
went 53 X 18 = 79.5 gear inches.. fast fast fast
a little about the TX-900 :
The TX900 was the early top-of-the-line frameset, dating from 1976 to mid 1978. The Columbus tubing, racing geometry, and fastback seat stays were characteristic of this model
so far i'm loving it..

Put on my bullhorns today.
The ride is much more comfy! They are the Profile T2 winged, so they are flat on the top of the bar. I wasn't sure how i'd like it but after a few very cold miles today i do not mind riding on the flat at all. Its a nice spot to just relax my hands for a bit. I find myself on the curve almost 90% though.

They'd be cooler if they were all silver like your old set.

i think they'll look nicer with the turbo special perforated saddle with gold emblems than with this yellow turbomatic.

The rear wheel has a diameter of 200 pixels measured inside-rim to inside-rim, and the front wheel has a diameter of 185 pixels measured the same way.
Crazy coincidence that those diameters have the exact same ratio as a 700C rim would have to a 650C.

Yeah, I'm going to say it really looks like a 640C up front. The camera angle is strait on as well...

Plus I think we can all agree, if anyone knows what size wheels are on Jameltoe's bike, it's me.
