The old men in Texas beat the young whippersnappers on the dirt. I get my butt kicked by a few 50 and 60 somethings who also teach me a thing or two. I think age is mental, I like riding with people who tell me about their grandkids when I haven't even had kids.

The Safire is a sweet bike, I couldn't fit the top tube length and I wish I could because everything else felt like a fun bike.
