Exactly, couldn't put it better. That is exactly the way I feel.
-holiday76 someone who says this(among other things) starts a thread mostly ranting about snobbery:
"The ever so juicy red strap is a Lapize, I wouldn't be seen dead riding a Christophe on a machine of this quality."
Interesting.
Being a snob isnt just about money you know. Clearly you're just pissed at someone who does and it shows in everything you've typed so far.
Oh boy, why is humour so hard to convey ? A toe strap is a toe strap, a Christophe is as good as a Lapize, they're probably all made by AFA anyway... However, some people kick sand in your face if you have Christophe (lower middle class) rather than Lapize (decidedly Noble, or at least landed gentry). That's snobbery for sure. Saying I wouldn't be seen dead riding a Christophe is HUMOUR. It might even qualify as second degree humour. Must I just post pictures and no comments ? Please, let me know, I don't need aggro, life is full of it as it is.
Know what ? I had a dumb site with a top google rating on Alien landings and Elvis truth. All obviously humour. Blatantly obvious. Some kid took it literally, worked it into a obsession, couldn't sleep at nights, sent me fearful death threats. He had to be chemically disenabled by the health system in the end.
