Is Modern Better Than Retro?

Re:

Nice! GCN (their sister channel) did the same a few years back with racing bikes. Both are good channels - pretty well balanced & don't take themselves too seriously.
It's an interesting comparison tho - and a good one for all of us in terms of the end verdict! ;)
 
Re:

Technology moves on etc etc but a 29er full sus trail bike with 6" of travel wasn't around when I was 14 but a Klein Adroit was. Sadly I can only afford the trail bike now :roll:
 
the guy just came across as a bit of a bike snob. the pro flex was excellent tech for the time. as LDP said tech moves on. id take the pro flex all day over the big wheeled monstrosity.
 
Re:

Hmm. Not really a fair comparison with the Girvin fork vs a telescopic. A four-bar linkage was available then which would have been a more appropriate comparison too. Nice riding shots though.
