Forget the CF's and SPD's... Just ride and enjoy... And whatever contributes to that enjoyment is the right choice...
... Or are those days gone for us?
Just sayin'

Some days I feel a bit like this myself. I am a relatively new enthusiast. Up until a couple of years ago, my bike was a rusty old Sears MTB which collected rust on the back of the RV.
Now I have restored some old bikes, ridden a metric century, own some new bikes and even converted some friends and family with my newfound enthusiasm.
I also started viewing "Bike Forums". Always entertaining, but sometimes almost annoying in a high school "peer pressure" sort of way. The North American preoccupation with so-called "race bikes" and "high end" sometimes spoils the fun for us "unracers" (thanks G.P., for the definition). Putting a $$ value on everything seems to be a human malady these days.
Just remember, define your own "bike lifestyle" and be proud of it. See our latest "unrace" bikes attached.
