Getting back into it !
Finally getting back in to the cycling game after a 'lay off' of 20 years. Hoping to do the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride this year
 Still got all my 'old' 80's bikes in original condition :- Peugeot Carbon de Fibre with Shimano 600 groupset. Raleigh 753 Time Trial Special (team Panasonic colours) Campag Super Record groupset. Raleigh 753 Low Profile (colours as above ) Campag Super Record groupset with 24" front wheel and Campag rear disc. Bob Jackson Low profile wheels as above with Campag Super Record groupset - minus a front mech. I think I maybe outclassed with the current carbon frames and equipment - but give me the 'retro' ? gear any day Next - get some miles in in prep for a few 10's this summer ! |

Re: Getting back into it !
welcome back! i think its more about the rider than the bike, so as long as your bikes are in good shape, whats it matter if there out dated?

That's not to say that you shouldn't ride your nice carbon equipment though. Enjoy riding your bike, but focus on the engine since that is where most of the improvement is going to come from. |
