Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

No, I was being straight. Every aspect of one's bicycle is a personal choice, frame material, component choices, gearing, position, even bar tape. Tire choice and pressure isn't any different.

Years ago I stopped riding with local clubs because people knew I was in the business and asked me too many questions, including why I preferred this or that. In the end it became annoying so I steered clear. These days I still don't discuss bikes, mine or theirs unless I'm asked. Any time I'm asked about why I do something, I keep it vague. I don't feel I need to justify my choices, nor do I feel anyone else does either.
