| Ha, driveways can be treacherous places, its when you think you are safe that you are the most at risk :) or maybe she just didn't really want to go. |

Not sure I totally agree. I don't need to upgrade my bike to be compatible with the newer roads. Celeste (my road bike, if you didn't know that by now) is 11 years old and I consider her fairly new, with Campy ergo shifters, not downtubes. Does look somewhat old school I suppose, with steel frame tubes and topped with a leather Brooks saddle. |

Old? It's only about 9 years old. But I won't tell her you said that! I had some trouble getting it shifting right and had offered her my Trek 900 mountain bike instead. She didn't want the Trek because it "looks like an 80's bike". I said "well is IS an 80's bike". She's still at the stage in her life where style is more important than function. I did finally get the Gary Fisher working right, however. |
To be fair.... GF as a brand doesn't exist anymore... they're now just a subsidiary of Trek that turns out bikes every now and again:)
The bike world has experienced a light year of changes in nine years though. The comparison if a 9 year old bike is pretty similar to saying a 9 year old DSLR isn't old. Having watched the development of this technology over the years (as it's one of my hobbies) has been pretty remarkable. I remember riding one of the top of the line DH rigs 9 years ago... and that thing, though running north of $7k, is horribly primitive by today's standards.
Doesn't look like she's any worse for the wear though, so the hose couldn't have been TOO vicious.
