More no fun videos
.
Granted I have added a vintage fork to my vintage rigid as I worried about breaking the frame but still...
I do all the same up trails as everyone else and all the more popular downhill trails. I may not hit some things as fast or hard, and may bypass some things, but so do many other riders. Realistically what vintage bikes don't do well are getting air off jumps for fear of breaking (no suspension to cushion the landings) and dropping off ledges (for the same reason). However, many of the people I see out mtbing aren't doing that anyway. If I mix it with them I can do the same stuff. Why do they get to have fun and I don't"
Case in point: If you watch the first few seconds of the first video you see a bunch of riders on modern mtbs standing around at the top of the same trail. This is common to many trails I ride on which no one is using a gravel bike for.
Fun is relative. Fun is getting out and riding. I plan to do it after work today!
