Centaur - Half Fred, Half Poseur

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

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.

If they're behind you that means you're faster.

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

*as in Campagnolo, not as an adjective

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.

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.
