After barely riding at all for the last 4-5 years I've been back to regular riding for the last 7-8 months. I'm still on my 2008 carbon Bianchi with 9-spd Dura-Ace on it. Obviously I'm missing out on the disc brake revolution, my riding friends have a few more gears and all the cables seem to be hidden from view these days. Am I wrong in thinking those things aren't really that dramatic in terms of tech evolution? Is there anything significant I'm missing out on with my older frame and components?
I get the allure of new and shiny as much as the next guy. But if I can talk myself out of that aren't I actually sitting in pretty good shape?
