Riding high with the classics

I am surprised that you would devote half a page in the Oct. 9 section to the “new” bikes. [“Laid-Back on Two Wheels”].

I have been riding a Univega and a Mongoose for 20 years, and they both have essentially the same frame and tires as the Electra Townie and Giant Suede.
