What road bike do you have?

shedding fat
I seriously mean this, but I hope someone Cinzano the hell out of you in your next ride for what you did to that fame set. It is beyond forgiveness!!!!!!!!

Built up last weekend. Always wanted a white S2 and found a great deal on this NOS frameset.

A pic of my new ride; works out really well so far. The pic was taken during the PBP, hence the clutter on the bike.

Still riding my '79 Schwinn LeTour, though have been playing Frankenstein with it lately. Got a new set of Matrix Aurora 700's with Shimano 105 hubs/8 speed cassette, mounted Forte' Strada-K 23s on it. Don't have all gears working smooth yet, can't even get bottom gear, the old Shimano 400 FF doesn't want to reach without sticking itself in the spokes. Shaved a couple pounds off the big ol block of rolling iron!

So you're just mad somebody can afford nicer things than you and you BELIEVE you know more how their bike should be set up than they do simply because you covet it more? That is laughable at best.

As always it is the person who does not post a picture or description of their bike, who thinks they know how you should set up your bike.
This genius probably has a 1990s steel frame with vintage wheels, who thinks that riding old outdated equipment makes a statement, when in reality the only statement it makes is: I can't afford a good bike.
UCIMBZ keep flipping burgers, don't get discouraged, some day you may get a real job and be able to buy a real bike.
I will be here this weekend we can do the ride together let's see if you and you 1990s steel bike can hang: https://www.cyclenorthgeorgia.com/ind...k=blogcategory

You wrote flip it, not flip the stem. I graduated from Harvard in 1991 and finished my MBA at MIT in 1994, so I am fairly well educated.
