I'm pretty sure the pics were from just before, or maybe right after, this ride.
B's hard core. Though you wouldn't know it by how clean her bike is...

Why anyone would want to ride through the tunnels twice in one day is beyond me. Actually 11 hours on a bike makes my taint hurt just sitting here.

Assos bikini chamois?
Girls are tougher than we are. I mean, just look at the shoes they wear all the time. And I doubt more than about six of them under the age of 30 own a warm jacket, and none of those would wear one on a night out anyway, no matter how cold it is.
But I digress. I think that ride was in a different lifetime...

Great way to take care of what was a nice bike. I know some slobs like that, can't say as I look up to them. You can have old things that will last a long time if given the proper care...

After a weekend of heavy use, mine looks the same way. Actually worse because it's a white bike. He may be planning a new bike soon so why start replacing shifters etc if you can still make them work. Not everyone requires pristine. Only on BF could a person be judged by a bike photo. Holy crap!

In general, it's not kosher to post negative comments about people that can't respond. If you feel like posting negative comments about the pictures linked to in the OP, please go clean your bike instead. If it's already clean, clean it again.

That's pretty clever, a "tool and not a jewel". Bicycles are also artist statements; sculpture. Personally, I would agree that a disposible CF race bike is not an artistic statement, it's a tool; but I suspect some of thier owners and certainly their marketers might disagree.

A bike is what the user makes it. Whether it is dirty or not makes no difference, and let each person define what their own art is. I mean some people might say that a road bike is for road riding. I ride with one guy who bunny hops curbs, rides in the grass and skid stops on a carbon fiber trek with Cosmic Carbones. A bike is made to be ridden, keep it as clean as you like it or as dirty as you like it. Your bike is your bike you really define what it is.
