Chrome moly gives the best ride. And you can just feel those hand-filed, skeletonized, long-point lugs caressing that double-butted Columbus tubing. Lovingly assembled by skilled Italian artisans in a small 6-man factory with stains of blood, sweat, and Barolo on the concrete floor. Trophies from Campione del Mundo line the workbenches. You can feel every bit of the heritage through the hard leather Sella saddle and the supple Cinelli bars. The wind rushes by your ears as you glide through the shifts of your magnesium Campagnolo drivetrain. Your legs drive harder as you engage the 53-tooth chainring and push for 35mph. Visions of Eddy Mercks flash through your mind as you stand up in the saddle and sprint for the finish, bottom bracket flexing in rhythm to the drive....... But, I digress. Got a little carried away. Biking is cool.
Audio as a hobby
The only problem with audio and music: it a very passive hobby. Of course you could ride a stationary bike or even have sex while listening to music . But then audio/music becomes sort of secondary. So the question, do any of you have an active, non-passive hobby that is the equal to audio/music??? Just curious, or all of you just couch potatoes???
