I remember when I got the bug after seeing a 10 lbs Pansonic Track bike tested by Larry Burke in Bicycling. I started drilling and grinding on my Raleigh Record. I cut my seat post so I had 1" inside.I drilled about 20 3/8" holes all up and down my steer tube! Brake levers,ect. The bike rode good for about a month before I bought a nicer bike,and my brother received the Record. One day we were flying down a hill and pop,ooh noo, help I'm hurt!! My baby brother still had one hand on a brake lever,and the bars were pointed backwards.Never again did I do such a foolish thing to a bike.
