   But don't ignore the possibility that you might be one of
those "strange people who comprise the reverse current"-- unless
you like letting other people make your decisions for you.
 
  (side note: many people who switched from ten-speeds to
one-speeds went back to ten-speeds-- but they kept the balloon
tires, flat handlebars, reinforced frames, etc, which were the
reason they switched in the first place).
