I agree. I have a bicycle for close destinations, and I have a motorcycle for far destinations. I enjoy them both immensely but I never feel the need for a middle ground. I completely understand e-bikes attraction and usefulness for many other people. Just not me.

ATTGAT baby, lol. Notice the irony in that pic:confused: Years ago I converted one of my bikes to electric, (to help with drunken rides from the beach:very_drunk:) but I never got around to attaching a battery!

Please tell me that wasn't a stock factory paint job? Though never know what Erik may have been smoking back then.

I'm with you Darren. You are deep in your knowledge of cool bicycles Sensei!
I lusted after those classic Klein road bikes. They had the most beautiful paint jobs. Though apparently punishingly stiff aluminum tubes.
SFO Internationation Terminal once had a full display of classic mountain bikes, from Gary Fisher's original to the Ibis Bow Ti. I was so distracted I almost missed my flight.

Unfortunately I made the bad choice of buying a Klein Aura in 2005/2006 instead of a Lemond Versailles or even a Sarthe/Croix de Fer.
That would have been really cool to see that exhibit at the airport. Down the road from our dearly departed Buell whisperer is a bike shop with a Schwinn museum in it. That whole part of PA is pretty interesting, especially to a west coaster like me.

Those look like the rockshox on my old Raleigh. My are blown out. I don't think I even have that little air syringe to fill them up. They are locked out with a piece of clear tubing. Bought my bike back in 92-93. Ah!! The military with no car....
