OH NO!! Don't tell me that the so-called "Classic Rendezvous' getogether to celebrate the classic lightweight bicycle is done to the clacking, metallic cacophony of of CLIPLESS pedals?!! No wonder I've not attended. What's next, a seminar on great Spandex Cirque du Soleil jerseys Eddy Merckx and Tommy Simpson didn't wear? Or how did Coppi do that without indexing?? Or.... ssshh... we really wish this lugged steel stuff was carbon fibre?

I despair.
