Right now? Pschaw, been doin it since 79! :lol:

Actually, Ive been riding SS road bike conversions since about 7-8 years ago, though Ive had plenty of SS utility and sundry beer fetching rides. :D

Imagine a nice road bike, and youve got a bit of derailleur noise and youre thinking about up shifting to go faster, bu wait, whats your cadence? Count...hmmm, no, still doing 90. No, that gear feels funny,hmmm, that one makes noise....

Its about brainspace. Riding a SS is about zen and peace and unicorns. Hill? Stand. Wanna go fast? Pedal fast. Its like turning back the clock and being three years old again. :D
