Yes indeed- them was the days- pity bikes were rubbish (technology-wise)........though the Chopper is indeed a classic- the Cortina of bikes............and of course the first real and ultimate retro transport for many of us- the Space Hopper, with its strange and vaguely disturbing face- what the Fech is it meant to be? Didn't know in 1973, still don't today!
(see left!)
And to stray generally back to the original subject, bar setup is entirely subjective- I still hanker for the period when LeMond appeared with different, new, and funkier bars at every race...........and Obree........made it out of an orange box and some old washing line, he did........ramble.........embellish...........bullsh*t.........etc...........
