The funny thing is that it seems acceptable to let a Trek with Bontrager wheels roll around with all this Fredness going but if it were Zipps on a Cervelo, or Boras on a Colnago or Pinarello (pick your fantasy bike here) it would be looked at as FREDELICIOUS!

Hmmm, I was going to guess he was demoing the bike. I left some of that stuff on my new bike for the first month just because I could still return it during that time. Now it is all long gone, except the tube socks and hairy legs.

nonono, cat 3... I can see how it's confusing, but I was trying to be cutsey instead of zero. Cat meter is always your progress to the next category, so my meter is that I'm hanging with the cat 3 pack (not getting dropped)...

Ah, no worries. I won a race last year and one this year as well as a few other good placing and upgraded myself into mediocrity. Of all things I'm having the hardest time keeping position on the downhills.

Can't believe you guys really have a problem with valve caps! Nuts man. I like to keep the tips of my prestas nice and clean considering how often I connect my floor pump to it. Those caps get pretty dirty and I don't want that crap in my pump, thanks.

You have to essentially wipe the little valve screw thing off to open the valve up, I've never had a problem with it being dirty.

yeah, it's probably minimal... oh well, just glad I have no pie-plate, stickers, and tube socks when I ride, I'd hate for one of you guys to snap a photo me and talk about my dorky ass here!

I don't care about fred or whatever, it's just one more thing to deal with when changing a flat.

Hey! I just noticed this thread ... AND the pics of me on my bike. What's up with that? Are you some kind of perv freak or what? Huh? HUH?! What the #(#%+%^**( ??
There better be a good explanation of why these pics of me and my bike and my unshaven legs are appearing on the net, without my permission!
PS -- of course I leave the valve caps on. Do you think I want the air to leak out?
