>>1764880Which parts market for what old standard has dried up? If we're talking about 1920's path racers then sure, but how many of those are in the hands of the original buyer and still being ridden?
Nope, that's just another bump-phobic cope, you were tricked into consooming something you will never ever need, the marketing jew did a number on you and now you are fully committed to the cause, you will bounce around the streets on your substandard imitation of a competition bike and feel good about it no matter what, because to admit the truth, to see the reality would be far too painful, you are in lockstep with the industry and it's manufactured trends and breaking out of that trance would require far too much introspection.
Boing!!! goes the consoomer, every pedal stroke sees energy being drained away from forward momentum and into the repeated and pointless vertical bounce, but it's OK because he thinks he looks like someone he saw in an advertisement action shot as he bounces inefficiently along the smooth tarmac to meet the commitments of his wage slave existence.
