I would still advocate to buy a $800 modern bike. Ride it and sell it when your project comes to fruition. The older I get the more I am going for instant gratification. At our ages, we never know if we can even still ride next year.
I found this gem on YouTube. Pretty cool test. The guy cracked me up too.

GEorge, did I ever mentioned to you that I really like PDK (say this quietly with one hand covering my mouth). I have a bike, full Campy super Record, with friction shifting hanging in my garage. Its the very bike I raced on starting when I was about 17 for the next 10 years after that. it ain't gettin' modern parts on it but a sunday rider to the coffee only that I never ride to the coffee houses. I drive instead in my PDk tranny Cayman.
I have a lot of respect for those old steel bikes, but I know their adv and disadvantages. I have ridden my old bikes on our fast group rides and I discovered that my placing near the finish is about the same. I know its slower on both the flats and the climbs especially. But on a ride like that, I know how to suck wheels for just a tiny bit longer to make up the deficit.
You been riding much? Hope everything is well with you up there with all the rain.
Jeff
