Grandpa, you keep the swamp stockpiled thanks to your insatiable quest for attention. The difference between you and little bittie is you are taller and therefore less angry. Unfortunately, you share the same low self esteem.

I dunno SM. Are you referring to the nagging lady or the prick she's got in her hand?
Campag sounds like he's compensating. Maybe his secret shame is that he now exclusively rides Shimano. I mean, I know Pcad and botto are friends and all, but Campag's stalking of botto... just ick. Too much love for me.

Campag is committing the biggest e-fight faux pas.
He's trying too hard.

$700 entry level bikes are carbon/aluminum. Unless you're riding with a bunch of Fred's I think everyone there probably has a carbon/alumnium bike.

Wow. So the thread title has the word "elitists" in it and all I see is name calling, insults and baiting.
Not very elite here. Hmmm.....
Please stop the labels, taunting and negative comments about each other. It makes for a better forum.
Thank you.

I think we've gone slightly of course here. Let's veer left a little and get back.
