Some questions defy the ages
Debate rages
Enrages
And pages upon pages upon pages
Devoted in magazines
Which is best?
What works?
What doesn't?
Slicker, quicker
Style or substance?
Shimano in one corner
Solid, dependable
Commonly commendable
Priced to be expendable
Campag, the other
European style
All the while
Class act of the pile
I compare and contrast
Change my mind at the last
Uncertain
"Campag"
He brags
The chap outside the shop
Standing out from the crowd
Happy to be different
On his Specialized
"Beauty," I'm told
"is in the eye of the boltholder"
A devotee of Shimano
Extols the virtue of strength
I don't know
Do I go with the flow
Or for show
The shop assistant approaches
A flurry of thought
Mind racing
Doubts pacing
"Can I help you sir?" he asks
I lose sense of where I am
Confusion parts, I see light
"I think I'll go with SRAM,"
I say
