Hey Richard,
I tour. I raced in the early 70's (in my early 20's) with Bud's Bike
Shop in Covina, CA., but now racing bikes, racers, and alpha personalities in
general bore me. Yet I'm curious. Why are 70's bikes useless in a modern
racing environment? Is it the slower shifting? Are they that much heavier? Is
modern geometry a better design?
