I have just flogged the modern Carrera (great price) so I now have a fully retro fuly GT fleet !!
Anyone else got rid of their modern stuff completely ?
Any pitfalls to running old gear fulltime ?
at this point, I'm pretty much all retro...I would love a ;new' bike, but it's not in my budget
at the moment...the recession here in the states, is lasting longer than expected..
So I have to watch my pennies..
anyhow, I have a 1973 motorbecane 10 speed mirage sport,
two mongoose ATB's from 1985........M1 is fully retro...'cept for fenders.
M2 is retro...however, converted to single gear......all three bikes look well
for their ages..and ride very good....and I still get looks from other cyclists
when I'm out and about.....something about a totally chrome frame that gets
people's attention....and I love the idea of keeping a piece of cycling history
on the road....i..e. those three bikes....
