If I see a guy on a cheap bike, with slicks, good form and fit scores higher than
an expensive bike with a rider that wobbles in traffic, rusty chain, low tires, bobbing
head, etc
Shouldn't there be a "Serious" scoring guide?
Like:
Good fit 10pts
Good maintenance 10pts
Designs and builds own frame 500pts
Wobbles -10pts
I'd just like to know how you score yourself and others.
Feel free to add a points system.
Additional sets for roadies, mtb'ers, and commuters are also encouraged.

If you gotta keep score, you're way too serious.
