What Other Cyclists Say
If I ride aluminum, other cyclists pass me and say "see ya later". And they can here my teeth chattering from road buzz miles away 
Riding steel, they ask "wtf is that?"
Riding Ti & climbing hills, they say "wait up". But it's often hard to hear them because they're so far behind me.
Riding carbon, they say.....well I don't own a carbon bike so I have no idea

Why would Ti be faster than Aluminum?

.....or the BF schill threads, or pics of my wound threads, or which $600 bike should I buy, or debating 11spd vs 10 spd, or 99% of the other useless threads.
It's all just for fun. Go out and ride, everyone. Come back at night and have fun on BF.

will other cyclists say that I'm a Fred if I don't have all the same brand gear on. ie I bought some LG knee warmers on the cheap but I am can't find any other LG stuff for as cheap.
Speaking of which, are there tiers to clothing companies as in the the levels of gruppos?
DA > Ultegra > etc. = Pearl Izumi > Castelli > Descente???
