>>2013366It's a way to tell that you "don't care" about the tradition, you appreciate finer things that are fresh, fast, cool and controversial just like greasers did back then with their fancy bikes and attitudes. They were young and pretended they don't give a shit about anything which worked with girl etc. (main goal) Here on other hand you have social media addicts or balding dentists that think they can get that "bad boy" look with their fancy unused gear while showing off how hard fuckin core they are and smell of manly men fragrance when they tame the wild on their magnificent high tech "minimalist" bikes while at the same time telling the bitches they got money.
Touring bikes are beat up, they look old even when new, you look like a homeless dork, THAT'S NOT FUCKING COOL, I need attention after all I need to feel young again! It's Bikepacking Life™ for me!
