stole your bike
Canadian bike company that takes credit for the work riders did in winning races. I wouldn't be foolish enough to spend loads of money on a frame made in China when I can get one for cheaper, even North Bergenites aren't that foolish.

All the other posers (poseurs?) only wish they were of my elite poser status.

A bike is a bike. The rider determines weather the bike is a wannabe bike or a useful tool.

I always saw Trek as the poseur ride. Maybe it's a regional thing.

So, will 'poser' replace 'guads' as the latest de rigueur term o' the week?
BTW, did somebody say Cervelo??? I find it very comfortable on the Aero Bars.

I see them around town atop silver Audis or on the back of black Mercedes SUVs, but I can't recall seeing one actually ridden.

+1,000.
Another Candian alternative... and pretty rare to see are: Argon 18 "Gallium"

A buddy of mine (Cat 2, and most likely would be cat 1 right now if it wasn't for a discovered heart condition) owns one with Corima carbon wheels, and that bike is gorgeous.
