twentynine inches • one gear • zero travel

"Retro is cool because back in my day we didn’t have these fancy Hydraulic disc brake 150mm suspended oil leaking extra bearing pivot squeaking bi-sickles. Noooo. If we wanted to go fast we took a beating from the trail, and our forearms would get cramps from the downhill death grip. Our backsides got to feel the trail too. Now its all soft and mushy and if something breaks we get all whiny."
