Went on a 70 mile club ride today with my old Alan. I got told by one in the group you always turn up on old bikes half falling apart (nothing wrong with this one at all or any of my retro's), as you own a bike shop why don't throw it away and get a new bike! He obviously does not get it at all.
I also got told by someone else that they always had threaded headset locknuts loosening off, not on good threaded headsets set up properly they don't. Another one who does not get it. I have some work to do.
I will be riding this now all summer as there is nothing wrong or slow about old. Tubs are expensive. Another Gatorskin tub taken out on a flint strewn road. Going to try Vittoria Pave next.
