Bike Boom Banalities
The "racers" we could all afford. And bought. And rode.
Peugeot PX-10s, Raleigh Competitions, Gran Prix, Professionals, Windsors, Gitanes, Schwinn Paramounts, Dawes.
Now let's me honest: how many of us say aged 17-21 ever rode let alone owned a Masi or a Cinelli? You couldn't even salivate over this stuff in
99.8 per cent of the bike shops in the country. So get over it. The COOLEST bike you ever rode was the one you actually could afford even if was an orange Peugeot AO-8. A whole lot more fun than oggling some $999 Raleigh
Team Pro in a catalogue.
So let poke bespoke in the nose and go common n' ordinary.
