You know Ron, I do fit in here. And just about anywhere I dare to tread. At work, I tune 30-dollar Tourney derailleurs to work great for college kids riding to school and XX1 AXS for gents that have more money than time to ride. I can appreciate that a Suntour Winner freewheel was a better than a Regina back in the day and I have SImplex friction shift levers on my 86 Casati that is otherwise full Super Record because that is what a discerning racer would have done in 86. I didn't say my bikes were expensive(read ostentatious) , having only paid $600 for my Madone. SO I don't equate discerning with ostentatious, but I do recognize timeless quality, hense, 1976 Colnago Super, Full Campy! - paid $400!
