>>1729060>heavy ass pieces of shit without even real bike shoesBikes haven't changed as much as you think: they had cleats and foot retention back then, and the weight difference between top end road bikes then and now is 5 pounds at an absolute maximum. To give the modern amateur a chance against the 80's pro it would have to be on something like a modern TT/aero bike on a flat course where the equipment makes the biggest possible difference.
