'Racing isn't cool unless you're winning' is exactly the kind of bro attitude that puts people off competitive sports. Fuck that.
If people have been riding/skidding/pissing about for however long on bikes and want to test the waters on the track/crit circuit, that's awesome. A route into grassroots competitive cycling which isn't racing in lycra in a club when you're 12.

Thank you. That's the sort of comment that annoys me. It's quite an outsider assumption that people are racing to be seen as cool or whatever, but it's actually done for the enjoyment. It costs a shit load of money to travel and race and it wouldn't be worth it if you didn't enjoy it.

So... loosings cool?

@Turkish exactly, builds that were once exciting are now just meh, maybe they need their own thread?

@roboto proclaiming their coolness is not helping their coolness
