when are you considered...

vintage? this has been the way i'm feeling as of late; in regards to my bikes. you know that old guy at the shop or riding guy who proclaims 'screw dura-ace; sun-tour rules.' and you ask your self...'self, why isn't sun-tour around anymore? oh, that's right...it sucks.'

well...i'm starting to feel like that old guy. all i wanted was a stem. just one stem with a twenty-five four diameter clamp. that's all. i don't ask for much. oh, ninety mm; mountain style. not too expensive. i didn't want to spend thompson money, but i didn't want cheap either.

in comes ebay.

hell; that was even a task. thankfully i found a bontrager race lite; exactly what i wanted for fifteen bones.

i'm turning into that guy...
