Reformed roadie

[Warped in storage]

Hello all,

Having not swung a leg over a road bike in close to 12 years i have finally turned from the dark arts of mountain biking ( well partly ) and am now back in the fold of drop bars and specialist Lycra.
How times have moved on technology wise in the intervening years , so why do i find myself rebuilding a steel framed 16 speed Bianchi ?
I think the bug has well an truly bitten but i have no carbon fibre lust , Does that mean i am still allowed back in ?

Don't worry, my two roadies are both steel. One Reynolds 501, the other 531. Both fantastic bikes to ride.

True after years of aluminium had forgotten how comfortable steel is

Thank you
