Still not as sexy as Campag Record or indeed Super Record 11. Must say I love keeping up with all the innovations but electonic shifters is something that just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

Keep it simple, there's less to go wrong!  I'll be looking for bargains in obsolete Chorus/Record 10 speed.

completely agree with you. The beauty of a bicycle is its mechanical simplicity - lets hope it stays that way.

I was going to say.As the price of electricity, gas, petrol, fruit and veg, etc etc soars.......How come booze is tumbling down in price. Can't blame the price of petrol for that can you.....I mean it has to be hauled around like everything else. What's it all about?
I think all these veg' price hikes are a big gimmick.....you only got to look around and the likes of the big supermarkets are now trying to flatter themnselves with so called 'reductions'. By your booze in the big supermarkets, and go to Aldi or Lidl for the fruit and veg

How about one great big wheel at the front with no brakes ? Perhaps a top hat to ride in ?

What a good idea!
Where can you get a bike like this? Surely brakes could be provided.
Top hats sound good
