Bikes: 1 frame and a heap of pieces

I prefer Shimano brifters over Campagnolo, I like the moving brake lever. I also think tri color is a fantastic group, better shifting than any campagnolo I have ridden and at least equal aesthetically.
I broke my tail bone because the Tommasini was not going to hit the ground.
I buy my wife bikes I want but are not in my size.
I am a bike snob, unless it's me riding the lesser bike, then it's a good honest entry level machine.
Brookes do not fit on any reasonably modern (70's on) bike.
Twine, nothing on a bike should be held on with a bit of string.
I rode a Viscount Death Fork for 3 years and didn't swap it just to annoy people.
I don't wear a helmet.
Brifters are better than DT.
i like aluminum.
i like how low spoke count wheels look.
i like colored tires
i have mixed shimano and campagnolo.
i have towed a trail a bike with a Tommasini, a 853 Lemond, Pinarello Catena Lusso and a number of other light road bikes that have no business dragging my 210lb *** around let alone doing it with another 65-75lb swinging off the seat post.
I prefer riding in Converse sneakers to my bike shoes.
there is more but I have to go do stuff
