A poed, pronounced 'poad' which rhymes with 'choad' of course.
Some people use 'poadie', but that sounds too much like 'roadie' who we all know are way cooler than both the freds and the poseurs put together.

Am I the only one who was expecting a Campy* thread?

Ah, grashopper. All squares are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are squares.
All cyclists are Freds to some degree, but not all Freds are cyclists.

i guess the same people who ride sport motorcycles and don't want "telephono movie star" written on the fairing. someone who'll go for a ride sans "kit".

Centaur is great group. Solid, quality. I wouldn't take a full Dura-Ace group in trade. I may be biased though, love me my Campy groups.
