I am 68 with an old and old-made-new bike. The old bike is a custom Reynolds frame with Campy NR from 1978; the other a Merlin titanium that I bought in ‘93 with Chorus 8. This week I put Chorus 12 on the Merlin and new wheels. Looks spanking new. I love the added gears, but it’s hard to buy faster times. I did my favorite 36 miler (nearly 4K of climbing) today on the upgraded Merlin about 1 minute slower than Three days ago on my old 6 speed in nail-on cleats. Go figure.
i love both my road bikes. (as a newby I can’t post the eye candy, but love seeing yours)
Best to all
