I agree with Reprince and Roxy54 regarding this thread.
Vicdamone: I looked up your bikes up and they certainly seem to be ones that will give you some great rides. I wish you many safe miles.
I've been riding since the late 70's and have stayed with steel. These are the bikes I still have:
1980 Team Raleigh with Campy Super Record (Reynolds 531 tubing)
Circa 1993 Schwinn Waterford Paramount with Campy C-Record (True Temper OS tubing)
Circa 2008 Waterford SR22 with Campy Super Record 11 speed groupo (Reynolds 853 tubing)
Mountain bikes:
Circa 1992 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp with Simano Deore XT (Tange Prestige tubing)
2011 Specialized Epic Comp with a combination of XT and XTR componenents (M5 tubing)
Since I ride the mountain bikes on old railway right of way trails (cross country riding rather than technical trails) I use the same length crank arms on them as my on the road bikes.
Only problem is that I don't ride as much as I should!
Cheers,
John
