Retrogrouchy Goodness

Bikes have a long enough history to engender the love of classics.  Retrogrouches will never die, nor should they because they are wicked entertaining.  And really, who doesn't love a sweet, lugged steel frameset with classy and durable 1980's Super Record components and wonderful tubular tires glued on--or even Conti Sprinters, cuz those are still really fucking good for those folks who ride tubulars all the time, though better with that orangeish skinwall.  Expensive plastic shit complete from a bike shop is fine for most people, but for those who know better, the old way will always be the best way.
