I did a stint in the USCF peleton back in the early 80s for about 5
years. Back in the day, a top of the line mount was fitted out with
Campy Super Record. Mine was, except for a while my club was sponsored
by Shimano and I used early Dur Ace components that seemed to break all
the time. Anyhoo..

I never upgraded from freewheels and Super Record. Call me a dinosaur,
cheap, whatever, but I never reckoned that I needed the new technology
if I wasn't actually racing. Its all in the legs right? I did lose
the toeclips for clip-in pedals, so call me a hypocrit.

So I'm out doing my rounds today with a kid in his twenties. He's
riding a Bianchi something equipped with Shimano something. A couple
of hours into the ride he asks what are those things on my tube?
Shifters. "Oh cool, I never saw shifters like that before."

I thought that was hilarious.

arthg, if you live in the Philly area, I have just the guy for you.

strong man stumbled or where the doer of great deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man who is in the arena. Whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly, who errs and
comes up short again and again. And who, while daring greatly, spends
himself in a worthy cause so that his place may not be among those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
