Oh, for the ridiculous story of the day.
Took the Samson out for the first longer ride (35mi-ish). It's a long paved trail with tons of bicycle traffic. A couple of areas are very upscale.
While at a park/water stop, a guy started berating me at the bike racks about the condition of my "beautiful frame" and trying to convince me it needed a fresh paint job. "I wax/polish my Masi after every ride. How you can let such a nice bike get like that..." I went inside that bathrooms and soon as I exited, he continued his vocal disgust as if not missing a beat.
(I'm 100% dead serious).
Really wish I had some clever reply but I was tired/not in the mood.
Yeah, I know cool story, bro.
