Funny you referenced Sheldon. He's like Knuth of cycling.

The industry will keep shoving down your throat their new "advancements" every year, but at the end of the day, bikes hasn't changed a lot, and the common knowledge will remain the same.

I don’t know that I completely agree. Yes, many elements are similar, but a carbon road bike with disc brakes, electronic shifting, deep wheels, radar, a computer and tubeless 28mm or 30mm tyres is an actual wonder to ride. I’m justifying a truly silly spend, but when I get on an old bike or a rental, it feels like stepping back in time.

Yeah, I have an old Panasonic Sport that I'll take out with some older fellas who live near me in rural Kentucky. They have nice carbon bikes with all the bells and whistles. It's night and day how much harder I have to work to keep up with them
