Am I a Fred?
Confession: I might be a Fred. Do you think so?
I'm a 45 year old doctor, with a love of bikes. It's not like I'm rich because I can't afford a house, but then again I have young kids and live in a condo. (A house would be nice but this is Vancouver, and I buy too many books, too much nice red wine -- one-two glasses a day, quality over quantity -- and too much hiking gear. AND too much bike stuff...)
I have three ti bikes, all bought used. Two nice ones and a lower end one. (A few years ago, when my mom was dying, she gave me a couple of grand and said "buy yourself a nice bike", and I just kept it up.) I'm an SRAM Force and X-9 kind of guy, so as you can tell, I buy good stuff but not elite or the "best" stuff. I am 6 one and pretty strong but weigh ~180-ish when I should lose 10 off my torso and weigh 170-ish. It shows a bit when I wear lycra.
I'm not a poser since I don't really care what others think, but my bikes and bike stuff are probably "too good for me". Am I a Fred?
