Where I come from being referred to as "Fred" is not an insult, its more of a term of endearment. Do a little research into the origin of the term "Fred" and you will come to find that being called Fred is an honor. If someone wants to associate me with the original "Fred" they are welcome to, it is nothing but a complement to me.

How does making a bike more functional, or riding in a comfortable way open one up for criticism? I understand also that its a certain segment of the population which perpetrates this, but what the hell is up with that? I am both a fred and part of a racing club and its no coincedence that I ride as a fred whenever there arnt other people competing with me. By the way, nice bike and where in johns creek are you? Im from sandy springs
