After a thoroughly crap day at work I decided I would go for a quick ride.

Weapon of choice freshly built up 1995 Kona Kilauea (First proper retro ride!) :D :D :D

After five minutes of hard cranking I realised that i was missing so much on my newer bikes......flexy 63mm travel forks, v brakes etc :roll:

I loved it proper good clean fun! :lol: :lol: :lol:

A return to thumbies was a breath of fresh air - I may even say better than my SRAM X0!!! :shock:

Did miss a few shifts though (read: thumbs scrabbling around under bars!) :oops:

Loved it - have missed a lot over the years of riding more modern bikes.

Can’t wait till tomorrow now!


:twisted: :D :twisted: :D
 
Yea, riding retro after an extended period of modern is such a change. And I too have missed a few shifts here and there when I go from SRAM X-7 to 1996 LX :lol:

My ride tonight, 1hr on the TT sweating away in my shed :roll:
