ThePhatomfart Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Considering it's 30 years old, I find it amazing that the style really hasn't changed that much over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-Kent Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Personally I think the older bikes are more comfy to ride, something about modern bike geometry doesn't work for me Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
