Love your bike, who gives a rats derriere what some rich poser thinks? I ride my Trek 1000 like it is the best bike on the planet, because it is the best bike this poor boy has owned (so far). I am concerned with improving the engine before the bike. I am not a racer, but when I am in shape enough to race, I will buy a better bike.
These people who look down on others because of equipment have forgotten the reason they started riding bikes in the first place.
