had the Benotto out for the first time since last fall yesterday. Nothing rides as smooth as old 1" tubing.
It made me nostalgic for alleycat racing, as this was always my race bike before everyone started pussing out riding gears (myself included). Now days I just don't feel like I can show up to race and try to win on anything but a geared bike. All the other fast dudes are on gears so not to do so is handicapping yourself right out of the gate. I'm thinking maybe this town needs some spring races that are fixed/single only to bring that shit back to good style.
