I'm just saying that 50mi on a bike that runs 43mm tires is a lot of work for anyone who doesn't do a lot of endurance riding. 50mi on a race bike is noticeably less effort, like 40mi on a gravel or touring bike. You get the extra comfort on a bike like that but you pay for those extra watts with legs that feel more sore at the end.

so i've been talking with my uncle for the past year about buying this from him but last week he went ahead and *gave* it to me and said "think of me when you ride it"
so stoked! no way i could have paid him what it was worth and the gifting takes the bike's juju to the next level in my mind.
its been sitting for 15 years so i started off with new tires, tubes, rim strips, and repacking hubs and bottom bracket
took for a spin around the block and good lord i can't believe i used to do 100 miles/day in the fucked-up-bent-over posture that these bikes force you into
new gooseneck, bars, and pedals ASAP!!!

I would love the opportunity to do a thorough tune up on a bike like that and then a 50ish mile ride. I was recently riding on one of Merckx's favorite training roads and thinking about what the gear was like that those guys were using and how it affected their speed.
