"Those old bikes are a nice ride, but not quick feeling like they are today. I talked with an old friend that was the hot dog at the local races. He was in his prime back (26) in the mid 80s and I was just a pimple faced 17 year old getting an ass kicking lesson on the art of road bike racing. The time around our typical Rosebowl training ride is about the same as they are today using those faster, more areo, deep dished plastic bikes. Its 5-8 seconds faster in a 3 mile circuit now.
I built up an old Colnago with modern DA 10 spd. Its nice, and fun, but still feels like an old bile. Once you drive a modern GT3, an old track prep SC just aint the same." <<<
You guys are doing it wrong! Gotta have the total old skool package. No resto-mod crapola. Just like cars: it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow. Or something like that
