Yet one more reason why my entire collection ranges from 4-7 speed rear clusters. Because I don't need anything more, won't get any better performance with more gear choices, and there's just something marketingly disgusting about them.
It also shows how I've dropped out of the market again. My most modern bike owned was 9x2 Ultegra. I knew 10 was around, had heard something about 11 . . . . . . . . . . never even heard about 12 and this isn't the first 13?
Tomorrow morning I'm riding the '72 Raleigh Grand Prix. A. Real. Bicycle.
