Many are just to uncomfortable for me to ride. Even in the 80's I found them uncomfortable.
And I have road a few. They kill my neck. I dislike reaching!
I wouldn't mind one of these........

I like this bike...
But, I also like this one...
I'm actually more comfortable for a longer time on the second one.

Just thought it was an interesting bike that looked comfortable, and well made.
Vintage Road Bikes can be physically much more attractive, but after that it's to each his own.
These types of threads are all over the net for anything, Bikes, Motorcycles, Cars, Stereo Equipment.........on, and on........

You decide to go on a date. Its your first date. You really want to impress the nice lady. You can.......
Show up in a 1957 white Cadillac convertible with red interior and chrome wire wheels
Or, Show up in a silver Toyota Camry.
You be the judge. The Camry will be lighter, fuel efficient, and handle better. But is that what life is all about?
And if your date prefers the Camry over the Caddy, find a different person to date.
I rest my case.
