Starbucks is overpriced flashy nonsense -- sounds pretty appropriate for a Cinelli to me.

Because that's the price, if you don't want to spend it buy a #kilott or something else.

The whole you can't ride it on the road and Starbucks analogies are sort of ridiculous.

If I were racing a crit, like red hook, no way in hell I'd take my hands off the bar for even a second.

Think you have to give Cinelli a little more credit than that. If their bikes were made out of decent steel but tempered incorrectly (over roasted) then the comparison would be apt.

Cinelli is more like the too cool for school local coffee shop with the snotty employees (who you secretly lust after) that you have to admit make a damn good cup of coffee, even it's overpriced.

Cinelli, hands down, based on the geometry.

Something local and organic with over educated barristas with lots of ink and facial hair.

Starbucks is for the Pure Fix crew.
+1 All the fixie goon homies ride Pure Fixies and we go to Dunkin Donuts.

Dunkin' coffee tastes like broccoli.

Scientific tests show that drinking a lot of coffee prolongs your life.

Eat a bag of black twizzlers as well for the full neon green experience.

I do 50-100 mile road rides. I haven't done a 100 miler in 4-5 years but I do 50-75 often.
