Imagine if there was a Yamaha Tiagra, or a Honda Sora RR?Originally Posted by McJim
I can just imagine how one would shift gears on a Sora motorbike:
To shift to a lower gear, you'd tap down on the gearshift.
To shift to a higher gear, you'd push a small button located beside your left knee.
Cheaparse.

Pah. Look in the mirror next time you go riding in a saggy one-piece with a speed hump and sponsor logos all over it.

Did you say lycra?

leather is for safety.
lycra is for Aerobics Oz Style.

You seen the SRAM gear yet then? I've been running Gripshift on the MTB for years so it might be time for the road bike to get the upgrade too

I'm not an early adopter. Once the new SRAM road groupset has acquired a reputation one way or the other, I might consider it. There is also the consideration that my mechanic won't be familiar with it, etc.
Do you know if there are there any bike shops in Auckland showcasing it?

The point is that Shimano came up with that bullshit first - that was the point where I looked and said "So my Miche hubs won't fit with my Sachs sprocket and shimano brakes with suntour cranks?" Bugger - I'll have to get campag brakes coz there are no compatability issues" and was in 1984...there was no Chorus or Veloce or Athena or Croce D'aun...there was Triomphe and Victoire and C Record...ahhh those heady days when we all wanted a 531c frameset....

Lycra is for stopping your skin from grating off and bleeding like fuck during hard exertion.
Leather is for men with handlebar mustaches named Maurice.

In 1984, I had a little plastic shoe with wheels on it that I paddled around the lounge floor with my bare feet.

Funny you should say that - sounds like what my sons are doing about now.
I remember when your brake cables came out the top of the levers.
I remember when weinmann centrepulls were a pretty neat idea.
I remember when gear levers were on the downtube.
I remember falling off coz I couldn't get my toe straps undone.
I remember when 10 gears was enough to get you up any hill.
I remember Bernard Hinault wearing funny shoes and thinking "that'll never catch on"!

Sounds like your sons are about the same age that my son is and that I was in 1984.
Some have accused me of getting into the breeding side of things a little too hastily. I usually reply by pointing out that by the time I'm your age, I'll be able to kick the kids out into the harsh, cruel world and enjoy my mid-life crisis in peace.

Dunno yet, but I was having a yarn to my mechanic about it and like the idea of the linear derailleur...didn't twig until then that SRAM incorporates what used to be Sachs...

I remember when saddles all had three holes along the top
I remember when index shifting was for softies
I remember the great Biopace chainring debate
I remember when Mavic was the coolest label to have on your wheels - thank god some things don't change.
