A million reasons why... just think about it.
What bike were you riding?
What were you wearing?
Bibs or short knicks?
Jersey match knicks match gloves?
Shaved, hairy?
9, 10 or 11spd - don't say less?
Frame material?
Made in china or Italy or someplace else?
Clincher or Tubular?
Stem to short, does it have rise?
Saddle to bar drop at least 4 inches?
# spacers?
Double, triple, compact?
Mixed Record with Dura Ace or OMG - you have a lowly component mixed in say 105?
Groupset all the same year?
What sunglasses?
Socks to high - white right?
Saddle bag?
Italian saddle - carbon or Ti rails right?
Bar tape color - white right?
Frame size right - enough layback post showing, too much?
Bars match stem match post?
Tire color?
Ipod?
Mix and match team gear?
Polka dot jersey?
Colored helmet - white right - must be a pro level as well?
Any warning stickers on parts?
Chain dirty?
Bike dirty?
Bike old?
Crap - there are a million valid reasons he could have to tell you to get off the road. I'd do it myself if you fail any of these...
