I ride my vintage steel bikes for a few reasons. I have been riding them since the early seventies and they just feel right to me. I don't like change and no need to at my age. If I were younger I would probably ride something super light and modern. When I was in my twenties finding a bike under 24lbs in my size (25" frame) was challenging. I did not drive a car for a few years and speed was important to me . Now I own bikes I could not afford BITD and I enjoy the way they ride and the nostalgia.
1982 Medici and 1975 Colnago-love them both
