Cutting edge becomes retro.
I’ve been on the hunt for an older bike to serve as a salt shaker to help get me through the winter. In the process of looking at old Cannondales and Bianchis I found this catalog. While Cannondale has made some questionable products over the years their road bikes have been pretty consistently good, and there are a ton of them floating around.
With my training being primarily aerobic I’ve been pursuing these pretty aggressively so that I can keep my mileage up as we slide into winter. I had planned on getting a long travel bike and doing primarily trail riding, but the road is where I need to be right now so I’m embracing it with this stupid project.
What we thought we knew seems irrelevant in hindsight.
I’m just glad I figured this out now so I can do something about it.
