We destroyed the road bike in 20 years. A thread [spool emoji]:
By 1996 we have Dura-Ace 7700. Integrated shifter as good as anything today, or bar-ends and even downtube shifters also available. Came in triple and even worked with MTB derailleurs.

LOL this is a thing??? I remember when everyone said threadless headsets were superior because they were sooo much simpler...
Threaded headset: Cut fork, set and forget, adjust bar height in seconds
Threaded headset: Limited adjustment unless you leave steer tube super long and play spacer abacus
Integrated headset: Now your whole frame is a bearing seat
Internal Cable Headset: LOL

Can you believe there are people who don't live in multimillion dollar homes on quaint cobblestone streets? What morons!
Just give up your Kia and you too will be able to afford moving from a $300K house in Las Vegas to a $3M house on a historic street in Boston. It's that simple!
