Concessions to the aging process
This is my prettiest bike (subjective, I know), the bike that I've had the longest, ridden the most and, unfortunately, crashed the most. I have been riding it less and less as my spindly old guy legs get tired quickly pushing the old 53/39 chainrings around. I have often toyed with the idea of selling it, but could never quite let it go. Then my wonderful wife gave me a Record 10 speed triple groupset for my birthday and I am one happy biker -- happily married too!
