Heh, reminds me of my racing team experience. I have a '94 KHS descent, unsuspended, with rack, light, etc... in short, an ancient (according to high schoolers) bike with lots of uncool stuff on it. No kickstand, though... I'm not
that bad.
So, I was one of 3 ride leaders with our group. I finished the workouts and was waiting at the end with the first part of the group. The rest of the group and leaders then came in and rested. Finally a couple of team members started looking at my bike and getting a little snotty about it. "Seriously? No suspension? And you have a
rack?" So, I waited and let them finish the list of criticisms. Then I asked about their bikes. One was CF, one aluminum, SLX-level stuff on both, nice suspension, 29" tubeless wheels, lots to brag about. Then I asked, "Did you notice I started behind you and was waiting at the finish line for you?" They never really answered, but they haven't had much to snark about, either.
