1. I'm sure people on Cervelos have dropped you quite a bit too--of course, that doesn't make for good internet tough guy stories.

2. Who are you to judge how other people spend their money? What's wrong with owning nice equipment AND working on the engine?

I'd kind of enjoyed the fact that the jealousy/insecurity about equipment had managed to stay mostly in the road forum, but now it seems that it's here too. Kind of a shame, really.
