You forgot to mention waving, it's been a very long time since we had a waving thread.

It seems like the original post is missing some key words - racer boys, triple, full kit, clipless and drafting to name a few. These popped into my head. I am sure there are others.

Steel, cantilever brakes, oiled chain, helmet. No "smart" phone, either. Nor online, DIY, as-you-go electronic directions, either (and, thus, obviously male [not wanting to ask for directions]).

Technical moniker: Oldfartus Dinosaurius. Not a whole lot of us around, anymore, so far as I can tell.

Other than having a smart phone for the last 3 years thanks to my employer, who also pays the bill, the above is me on tour. I even use PGS to navigate. PGS=Paper Guidance System, also known as cue sheets.
