? While looking at the coverage in http://velosniper.blogspot.com/ of Ray Dobbin's wonderful photography, I see?the author reminiscing while looking at a July 1982 issue of Bicycling magazine:,

"1982 now seems like the end of the golden era of classic racing bikes. No click shifting, no funny bikes. Brake cables looped upward in the open breeze. Colors and graphics were pure and simple. Wool jerseys, crochet gloves and leather hairnets proudly appear on the cover of the country's biggest cycling magazine. Within just a year or so, all of this would be hopelessly passe."

Hmm, sound familiar??? :)
