At the same time, stating that you don't think it will be OCP because it's gonna be put to good use assumes that people who consider themselves OCP don't ride or put their nice bikes to good use - which is completely wrong. We may not race but we ride the hell out of our bikes.
And remember, OCP is a state of mind. An attitude that says: "screw you, I don't care that you think I'm not 'deserving' of my nice bike because I don't use it the way YOU think I should. I'm going to do what I want."
Ride on brother.

And also nomatter what ne1 commented, i was still gonna build it.HEHE.I do have a better understanding of OCP, or in my case, JOCP. And, sorry, I dont plan to give up my car when i get it,(i no i no)but i will have the cheapest car to put all my money in my real mode of transportation-my bike-colnago wit centaur that is. HEHE
