In addition, with a little extra time on my hands, I found an ideal candidate for restoration: a 1987 steel-framed bike with a good pedigree in a size perfect for my wife. The work was therapeutic and successful, so now she can experience its ride, handling and geometry, and perhaps better understand why I've had no interest in replacing my steel road bike in the 3 decades I've owned it.<br /><br />She asked if I knew the weight of her 'new' ride. I hadn't given that any thought, but weighed the 33-year old bike to satisfy her curiosity...it weighed exactly the same (to within 1/10 of a lb) as her 3-year old alloy and carbon road bike. Full disclosure: the 33-year old bike has the advantage of lighter pedals and saddle, so could be up to a pound heavier if they were similarly equipped. When she tells me how the rhythm of pedaling, the feeling of wind on her face, or the sensation of banking through a smooth curve on a greenway bring a sense of equilibrium to her world, I just nod my head. And she understands that I understand.Rob in VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808912030913573444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050916568736413860.post-60533865667045166622020-08-04T11:14:48.228-04:002020-08-04T11:14:48.228-04:00Thank you Annie.
