>>1932736When i was a pure steel is real yung un i used to seethe internally at rich freds on carbon bikes but every time i would talk to one they would compliment my old steel roadie and reminisce about the good ol days which I larp as but didn't really experience like one fat old rapha guy on his carbon TREK was telling me about watching Pantani on alpe d'huez and joking about how new bikes are soulless. Freds are based.
Imo the only people who actually have disdain for hipster cyclists (for lack of a better term) are -young- actually fast guys on new equipment. And they're not freds, they're athletes. It's not really worth coping about being faster or smarter than those guys because you're not.
