Completely agree.
A few years ago I was starting to become so sick of all the new bike tech, and
how fast my bikes were becoming obsolete (and otherwise destroyed) I decided
to simplify. Now I ride a steel hardtail and have never been happier. It has
completely changed the way I ride, and look at my bike. And while I am not
immune to bike tech (1×11 in the near future, probably with carbon cranks) it
is much easier to pick and choose on a simple bike.
