- Classic Flite, Regal, and Concor saddles on your state of the art road bike
- Nemesis tubulars
- Cotton cycling caps under your helmet
- iPods and corded headphones on the bike, sometimes
- 10 Speed drivetrains
What a time to be into cycling! (I'm still into half of these things) |
you mis-typed 19c there tough guy.
The rest? I didn't do Rotundos, prefering other bars. Love Flites. Pretty much always ran Mavic tubular (and still do)
