I only ride steel bikes and am kind of known for the eccentricity of it in my bike club. In the club, which is mellow by the standards of what I read about here on BF. Most people aren't just recreational cyclists, they are hobbyists. Some, not all, hobbyists are as fascinated by having the latest and/or best gear for their hobby as they are in participating in the hobby's primary activity. Even I am guilty of this to an extent, although my fascination lies with vintage gear.

Still, I rode with the fast group Saturday, on a 25-ish pound 1983 Raleigh road bike... wearing jeans.

Nope, I'm not eccentric. Not me
