Eh, I've really turned from road biker into more of a commuting cyclist, or as many know it "crazy bastard." I do the baggy bike shorts thing and the $10 wicking active wear shirt more than my other two jerseys. I still own the nice Descente lycra and team jersey for the long rides, but just biking around I look like a total Fred with my baggy bike shorts, lights, panniers on an old Italian bike no less. [Dura-Ace 6-speed represent!] I still have my nicer road bike for going fast, but I don't even ride it enough [considering selling]
I've been sucked into the "I gotta have better ****" thing. I gotta have a bike with all Ultegra or Chorus or the like, but really I do just fine with my 105. I feel like I have to put on some Ksyrium SL wheels, but really I'll see little use or benefit out of them. I figure if I really really have to be the fastest I'll train hard and take lots of steroids like everyone else.
