Am I just being gay or...
BigNige:
Back in the day My bikes had a feel to them, i was comfortable on them, the bars were just so (high and wide and sat upright) the frames were shorter so the centre of balance was further back and they felt like a part of me.
these new fangled jobbies just dont fit! okay im 4 stone and 25 yrs to the good but they just feel alien to me.
I was fussy though. I swapped "medium" Diamond back handle bars for a set of Diamond Back pro bars (10" rise) and suddenly i could go higher and spin quicker and just do it all better.
So any of you old school chaps feel the same or have i just turned into a fat, old spineless fagg?

Nige, I still try and ride new school bikes, and I still find them strange, I think you just have to persevere with it, remember as kids we probably rode our bikes for 12 hours a day, Im lucky to ride 12 hours a week, so trying to get used to a bike is gonna take ages :daumenhoch:

Stick with it. They do seem like hard work at first, but it all drops into place soon enough. Plus, there's loads of parts out there to buy these days so you can be as fussy as you like ;) :)
