Like I said Dan, "I'm willing to listen to talk of modern parts on old bikes if it will get people to ride them."
Vintage race bikes are the only area in my life where I'm allowed to be elitist and narrow-minded since it hurts no one. As the saying goes, "It's only bikes afterall!" (said with tongue firmly implanted in cheek).
