How did we all become such “pussies” look at these real MEN no stupid looking useless brain buckets, STEEL frames, no PLASTIC so what if today they’re a “little” faster, who gives a shit? This WAS the golden era, long gone, long gone…
@SatansSpatula – Yep – just slam that Nuovo Record brake caliper into the downtube. IIRC rubber protectors on the back of NR calipers didn’t arrive until 1978.
NEXT SUNDAY 10/aPRIL, I’LL RIDE MY BIKE DURING THE MORNING FOR 100 KM, DURING THE AFTERNOON I WILL SEE THIS WONDERFUL RACE, PARIS-ROUBAIX ON THE TV.
I HOPE TO SEE CANCELLARA 1ST OVERALL!

Re: the bossy protesters at 40:50 — they’re lucky that Hinault wasn’t yet riding!
