Cantdrv55, what club did you join?

My philosophy is that high performance equipment is more enjoyable to ride/drive. At least with bikes, I've found that the good stuff is more durable and lasts longer. My Litespeed Titanium frame is about 10 years old now and my Campy Record Carbon 10sp gruppo is 5 years old and the bike still rides and looks as good as new.
