    Scored a set of Scott AT-4 handlebars. These are the regular flat style not the Pro model. These are rare in my area. Are these still desirable? Yea or Nay on my Fisher CR-7 or my Revolution E-Stay

    What are your favourite bike buys of 2023?

    I guess my favorite retro bike buys of 2023 would be the Revolution E-Stay, Fisher CR-7 and the Fisher Aquila. I liked the color of the Aquila though it's faded on one side. My non-retro fave is the KHS XC 504R. Rides like a dream.
