If you are going to make these ridiculous assumptions about our fellow forum members, at least have the stones to listen to some sensible arguments when a debate starts.
Oh, and I'm gonna assume most of us could kick your rump on the bike.
I might add, have you bothered to look at Chip's bikes?
My assumptions are not ridiculous, they are from my experience (i.e. the things I see every single day). Yes, the arguments makes sense somewhat if you ride on MUPs & not caring about dogs & other little creatures, bikes trying to pass you by etc.
I am not 100% sure what "kick your rump" means but if it is what I think it is, I do not know how it can be done since I do not race. I ride five times a week two hours on average but NEVER EVER had been passed by someone wearing headphones but I pass them by dozens. It can happen some day but will only prove that it's an exception rather than a rule. So it looks like that YOUR assumption is simply a false one & it'll be awhile before I eat your dust. Meanwhile please keep doing a good job eating mine.
As far as Chip's bikes go, they're pretty much what I have (i.e. classic chro-mo frames with Brooks saddles & decent components). How can I have any issues with them?
