>>1156644>not freddy enough like carbon nor retrogrouchy enough like steellots of retrodouches in remission graduate to allumemium and continue to delude themselves that they're not a 'fred' and they aren't the same as all those 'racer wannabes', when in reality they're just sick of sub-par preformance but can't quite stomach riding carbon which has always been a derogatory insult to them. Allumemium allows them some pretense of rejecting roadie norms and being original or 'rational' or having their priorities right or whatever but they can still have basically a good modern road bike.
The only reason to ride allumemium over carbon is because it's cheaper and that's a fine reason but lets not kid ourselves.
