re: #37 Blind Frog Belly White

My ride yesterday was on my most modern bike, a CF Bianchi 928 from 2006. Only 10 speeds, cable shifting, dual-pivot sidepull brakes. Practically a dinosaur, and at 18 lbs, a boat anchor!

Boat anchor! Jeez I guess I will have to weigh my stumpjumper when I get home. Maybe it would approach 18 pounds with the wheels off but probably not.
I don’t trust electric shifters, no sir. You’ll have to pry my cable shifters from my cold, dead ha—wait a minute, I’m not that committed. I won’t literally die to keep them. But I would endure mocking and/or stern words to keep them.

ETA: regarding dinosaurness, this stumpjumper is from 1995.
