Keep those bear pictures coming. We wouldn't want the thread to become........unbearable. It's nearly a Grizzly situation as it is.

1. Because most riders (myself included) lack the talent to execute a 2xWhatever shift pattern efficiently. 1x simplifies shifting.

If my legs spinning so fast I can’t keep up comfortably, I shift to a larger gear. If my legs feel like I am doing lunges, I shift to a smaller gear.

Ok, I'll play along, you can add these to your collection.
Here's my bike.
I had stopped for a photo anyway, so here's a selfie from that ride. I don't wear a helmet sometimes on gravel roads when I'm not going to be around cars with texting drivers.
Here's another one. It's easy to take lots of pictures of your bike … when you have a bike.
Here's one with some god beams.
Here's one with larches.
Snow!
I could do this all day, but it's your turn.
GO

After a year of seeing your carbon is crap, And 6/4 Ti is superior shtick, you must understand why people here doubt your purchased a Madone.
Most of us try to keep things polite, but don't play us for fools.

Didn't you say your bike was "ugly"?
Looks pretty good to me.

noodle soup was required when you take that pic otherwise it's not real proof!
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
PS: Please wear a loose fit jersey, or poncho.
