Give the man a bridleway, on flat ground and many many many gates, he'll be happy. (he may not look it)

I look at my 1990 Bontrager Race OR. It's steel. It's like the Oranges in geometry - no co-incidence methinks. A brilliant bike in its day.
I look at my Cotics and Stantons - they are steel. They are fast. They are WAY more competent than the Oranges or Bontrager.
The geometry is better. The brakes are better. The wheels are better.
Phew - the spirit of the Oranges and the Bontrager lives on in some brilliant contemporary steel bikes.
