At 73 years old there are some days when the trails are a bit too rough for my gravel bike, and i want a bit more comfort, so this Whyte 901 has been added to my stable.

Good one DQRider
’78 Batavus, running Campy9 triple - had to lay down after yesterday’s ride.
Even found a bit of gravel out to the Sporting (?) Club.
and you know us ‘old folks’ need to stop and rest along the way

Started riding a couple weeks ago after a 30-year-or-so layoff. Took this photo during the ride which put me over 100kms/60 miles total. It's a Kona Honzo.

I'm riding either my 2013 Fuji Absolute 2.1 hybrid or 1976 Motobecane Grand Touring depending on what I feel like riding on a given day. I simply swap out the bags and taillight as needed.
Cheers,

My new steed, a Cicli Barco XCr custom stainless steel bike. At 72 y/o I get what I want. Actually, it was my wife's idea, she said I did not have enough bikes.

1989 Falcon, 531c, Campy shifters&RD, Modolo brakes & levers, Cinelli bars/stem
Very light feeling and extremely responsive on tubular wheels.
Pictured before today's ride and after.
Ooops, one min.

My new ride -- Canyon Endurace CF SL 7.0. I'm making some adjustments and have replaced the stock b***buster saddle. Will look at a proper fitting on it once the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted...

This is my 2015 Ridley Fenix with full Ultegra 600 groupset. I am 56 and this bike is very comfortable for me. Not a great pic but I was having a sandwich....
