I can afford whatever I want and have a couple of bikes that you'd see on TV in July if you watch Versus. I started racing at age 8, and went to Europe to race on a Belgian team before Lance was conceived. Oh, and most of my gear comes free due to my contacts from racing days and the bike biz now. That which I have to pay for, well, you'd have a heart attack if you saw the prices...
I like the road forum. It's like bike racing. I still like to eat the dead.
Overgeneralizing and stereotyping is what old people do. I think that's why I like the road forum better. They may say crazy stuff, but it can be fixed.
