Title: new or old for next season
Post by: 58 delray on August 19, 2011, 12:24 PM: now that O/S racing is finished at Hersden they are thinking of having a 30+ veterans class where old or new school bikes can be ridden, so my question is, do i stick with my o/s ripper that i have raced all this year (including at the regional against n/s) bikes) (far right)
or do i switch to my n/s ripper?

regional against the n/s bikes

Post by: 58 delray on August 20, 2011, 01:00 AM: the TT length is the same, the angles aint much different and the o/s bike is lighter, think its time to woop some n/s ar*e on an o/s bike :daumenhoch:
