Just because there's a bike involved doesn't mean it's the right bike club for you. Instead of calling them elitists, go out and find a club that's a better mix for you.
I say it depends on his riding. If someone's consistent and can keep pace with the group I think everyone will forgive his choice of bike.
If you've got an odd bike, AND can't keep pace with the group well... yea, you need to either find a different group, or get yourself in shape QUICK - or you'll risk being permanently branded as
that guy.
