I’ve been pretty lucky with my first road bike , I mean a lot of people would not really expect a thirteen year old to be bike bonkers let alone be one one of those lycra wearing people who are SO annoying always weaving through the traffic and getting to the lights first.
anyway my first road bike is a Raynolds 501 , I know what you mean about it been heavy by modern standards it is, but I really love it I’ve done my longest ride I’ve ever (last saturday it was only about 50 miles to most people on this blog thats peanuts but you know and I’ve discovered road bikes (which was a relief after about 9 years of chunky tyres low gears and flat handlebars) All thanks to my high geared old Reynolds 501.

I love the look of the narrow tubes on steel frames. My first road bike was a Dawes milk race with Reynolds 500 tubes.

I think another reason bike manufacturers have gone for bigger alloy tubes is because they can put a huge logo sticker on the frame and you can read it from a mile away…
