How interesting...the interest in thing that pedal. I started riding back in 82...I bought an Araya Aero...Shimano AX group, 14 speeds. That bike always whispered in my ear..."FASTER...FASTER".....At the time I weighed about 240 lb on a 6'5" body...so I was always heavy for that bike. I stopped riding afte my Dad passed away in 1988...I had Dump trucks going by me 18" away at 45 mph with nowhere for me to get off the road except for the gravel.
Later I bought a Klein Mountain Bike...but I almost never used that bike...by the time I bought it my interest had largely past and I put on 40 or so pounds...now it's tough to break lower than 300 lbs...
