My road bike is actually a CX (I doubt I could use a traditional road geometry, having fairly long legs and a short back)
I use a Bell Faction as my bike helmet (Honestly, the only helmet snug enough to make me feel safe. Even my full face wobbles more)
I dream of being a bicycle messenger
My current tyres weigh over two pounds, because I don't like flats (going tubeless soon so i'll be able to shed a pound at least)
I detest radial spoked wheels (basically because they always have too few spokes. I have to make my own wheels but that's ok. It's fun and I get what I want)
I would love to have a road bike with disc brakes. The idea of expensive rims wearing out makes me feel really bad. If I ever go carbon rim it's disc brakes all the way.
Can't understand "road etiquette" in everyday riding. In races yes, but if I'm riding along minding my own business, I feel that the only rules that apply are rules of the road. Mind you, normally I don't see many other "real" cyclists going the same way... That kinda says alot I think...

Can't think of anything else at the moment.
