Computer free...

[Popoki_Nui]

When I restored my 60's vintage Falcon last summer, I debated whether or not to add a computer to her. I decided not, because computers didn't exist in this bike's era, I usually ride her on roads and paths where I know the distances, and I find I like the feeling of not knowing (or caring) how far/fast I've gone. Just riding for the joy of riding is very appealing. I have other bikes with computers, so having one without is kind of liberating.
Back in the day, we had those soup-can size mechanical speedometer/odometer thingys. Big dial mounted to the bar with a thick cable going to a gear on the front hub. Remember those? If I found one of those in good shape, I might consider installing it on the Falcon. They were pretty cool. Otherwise, it's au naturel for now.
