'Dale Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Dear Others My Scalpel and high modulus carbon roadie are definitely status symbols for me. It adds significance to my existence and I feel proud and cocky when I roll up to the coffee shop as people turn their heads to check out my carbon bits and electronic groupset, my Swiss made kit and my white Italian shoes made from baby kangaroo leather. Deep down, I yearn for social approval and even respect from those in the cycling community.I do subtly frown on those with dirty handle bar tape, velcro strapped shoes and scuffed ankle length socks. Or pretend not to drool at the newest 2020 bling that arrives at my coffee joint while I down my coffee.RegardsMy brittle ego(who doesn’t always get that the world needs less prejudice, bias and elitism and more coolness and good vibes) Edited July 3, 2020 by 'Dale Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Nibali, Patchelicious and 2 others 5

DieselnDust Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 If seeing an over weight middle aged guy riding an Sworks Epic triggers you, you need to get over yourselves cupcakes, happy Friday.

Showtime Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 YESSSSS Last comment before we derail the s-works completely. I left out Oriental Delight in New Germany. I still get bunny chows from there just about every time I'm in the area. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Wayne pudding Mol 2

Duane_Bosch Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I do subtly frown on those with dirty handle bar tape, Sorry. I can't with dirty bar tape. No man. Just get black if you can't keep the light colors clean. SIES!! Hairy, Wayne pudding Mol, Jewbacca and 4 others 7
Frikster-KZN Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 It seems some have more problems/issues with what they call Mamils than with working towards owning a S-works, you will probably justify it by saying " i do not need such a bike" but deep down you only wish you could have afford one. I have learned long ago to not judge people by looks or what ever as that is only important to non-important people! Anyway have a lekka weekend guys, mamils included : ) Riaan H and Patchelicious 2

DieselnDust Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 It's actually just funny because the spazzers get so darn uppity and indignant about the whole thing. So it continues, due to their own reactions. and always chime in with some comment about the affordability while making snide remarks to people with bike fleets worth more than the most expensive S-works.... its like these okes think trail bikes are cheap Hairy, LazyTrailRider, Wayne pudding Mol and 1 other 4
Patchelicious Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I enjoy watching people rag on Specialised about being corporate bullies.... Wayne pudding Mol 1
Frikster-KZN Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 i wonder what they say about people with a fleet of s-works???? Patchelicious and Duane_Bosch 2
Patchelicious Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 i wonder what they say about people with a fleet of s-works????They usually ask them for increases or to approve their leave. LazyTrailRider, Nibali, Milkman and 4 others 7
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 They usually ask them for increases or to approve their leave. :lol:
Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 They usually ask them for increases or to approve their leave.or approve their bond increases Riaan H and DieselnDust 2
LazyTrailRider Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 you will probably justify it by saying " i do not need such a bike" but deep down you only wish you could have afford one. I didn't ever really think about owning one. Then I had one, and now I have an Expert level bike and a Comp level alloy bike. Was the S-Works nice? Obviously. Was it worth +-50% more than the Expert? Pffft, no way. In Spez's line-up, Expert is where it's at. 90% of the awesomeness for 70% of the cost. Riaan H 1
