im not saying its any good! dear no! it rides like crap! but it is very retro, is very cool and is a useful runaround. And back when it was new, it was both very desirable and pretty good.

so no dissage.... i wonder how you would cope on Retro bike, there's LOADS of old crap on there, it all rides like crud, but looks rad, and is a i bit dieferent and old. And thats the point.

But it looks like scaffolding, and despite scaffoliding being a very functional use for metal, it is far from "rad."

I don't really get the whole retro thing, old cars, old bikes, old anything really; it just isn't that functional - if it was they'd still be making them now.

Nothing is cool if you have to tell people it's cool.

Thats an ugly bike. I wouldn't even ride to work on that.

IIRC elevated chainstays were to get away from chainsuck?
