Newer converts to cycling may cast their eyes over my machine and be quite lost. So, eyes down for a history lesson.
As you will have spotted, my bike does not have disc brakes, electric gears or a fancy integrated handlebar and stem. Its tubes aren’t especially aero and look, the seatstays finish at the seat pin and not halfway down the seat tube. I know, weird. Its tyres are ‘only’ 25mm wide and get this, they still have inner tubes in them. It’s not that I have a deliberate aversion to all modern bike technology, and when I built this bike in 2014 it was just about state of the art. A lot has changed since then.
