My bikes have aero brake levers, Shimano 600/D-A track pedals or Delta compatibles (black cleats), triples and Terry Flys or equiv. regardless of age or type. They gotta work for this body to be owned and ridden by me. If it were law that I could not make those changes, well, you'd have the bike, not my money.

Those aero levers - I wanted them when I was racing; 1977. I fantasized bout having my hand slit surgically between my fingers so I could drop my palms over the hoods like so many pros do now on my long rides where I could have ridden that position for hours; if only it was possible. Saw the aero levers and never went back. NR stye quill pedals are just too hard to pick up when there are far easier options. Triples, Flys - my body isn't 20 something any more.
