I stopped riding bikes around 2015. Became a cagie and got fat. Recently my son wanted to start riding bike. I went out and bought a cheap 95 specialized rockhopper. Replaced the shocks with a ridgid fork, got new flats to replace the plastic pedals. But when I went to my local bike shop to get some bar ends the guys there told me no ones uses them anymore. What the fuck happened? Everything is electric now, nothing is in 26" anymore, no more single speeds, no more 3-by cranksets, no rim brakes. What did I miss in the past 11 years?

>>2080619Bar ends are a niche product these days. Mostly you're either being chinese new ones of Amazon or new old stock on ebay>>2080620No the fuck it isn't you absolute faggot.
>>2080621if you would seriously trade a shit-tier 2019+ aventon for >>2080619OR expect anyone else toyou are not only wrong, you are unhinged
>>2080622What?
You just like shit bikes. My 2015 bike is basically completely modern Just say you like clunky toy bikes. No wonder you got fat and became a cagie this bullshit is the bike version of le skateboarding just grow up ride a decent fucking bike ur just here to have something to play on
>>2080623>I know what I gothot enough to get me to turn off my blue light filter for a better look. I'd aura-shred it almost anywhere except an actual trail.
>>2080624Damn when did /n/ turn into /fa/? Im sorry your legs arent strong enough to push a heavier bike. Bikes are for having fun, that the point. Why are you trying to be the best at exercising? Just play sports.
>>2080626Ironic you bring up /fa/ when you are doing the bike equivalent of pretending some faggoty old leather boot is far superior because uuuh idk its not modern>yo leg not storng enuf for a 26erAight man sure at least im not fatI have fun, so do all the old cunts i see in my area still riding bikes, people in their 60s 70s still ripping consistently On… decent road bikes.if cycling a toy bike around is so fun whyd you stop Oh wait its shit and gay yep>play sportsWhats this obsession with playingGo play bike, larp as a cyclist and do 3 whole miles good job
>>2080622You do know that it's not everyone who's part of the road cycling cult right? Some of us just like to have fun. Go be gay somewhere else.
>>2080630ok have fun then but dont fucking ask why outdated shit thats now only for le fun isn’t readily available at the local bike shop anymore its pretty fuckin obviousI find it so weird how you people cant “have fun” without complaining that new things exist Wheres the fun? is it in riding bikes or bitching about stuff? You don’t seem to be having fun you seem to be complaining about technology on the internet. what is this boomer behaviour, if i wanted to ride one of these fuckass bikes id just ride one what is the point of this thread I like 90s cars i think id much rather have one over a modern car im not on some fucking forum asking why i cant buy old parts locally and complaining about modern cars that would be a huge waste of time and gay
>>2080631I'm not OP dumb ass. You replied to me replying to OP. How fucking hard is it to follow a conversation thread for you. For fucks sake! I have been on so many boards, and this one is, by a wide margin, the fucking dumbest.
>>2080641You clearly haven't been on /ck/
>>2080642Luckily there's no chance of that happening. I fucking hate cooking but I don't eat out, and I'm alright at it. it is absolutely not a hobby for me. If I can't make it with less than 2 minutes of prep and sticking it in the oven or steaming it I'm not doing it.
