I was talking to a gentleman last Sunday riding an old Schwinn Continental, and we started talking about our respective bikes. I happened to be on my CF Ridley, and he called his Continental his weight loss plan since due to the weight difference he lost two pounds to every one I lost. I told him my bike was my mid life crisis vehicle, more bike than I needed, but I wanted it anyway.
I also told him his bike rode the exact same way mine did, you pedal and it goes.
Truth be told, that Continental will probably still be around when my Ridley is carbon dust.
