Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Hermes is a fucking disaster and Rapha are a bunch of fucking idiots to even think about using them. In other news, my first Ashmei order got delivered today. I'm in Mallorca at the moment, but it's something to look forward to when I get back.

If I'd casually mentioned that I'm riding singlespeed for the whole week, would that make it more or less middle class? Or just neutral? Not that I'm competitive or anything.

Would make you an attention whore

depends if the singlespeed has a powermeter

Is it stainless/titanium and does its monetary value surpass that of the typical mamil road bike?

Of course. Garmin Vector 2s.

No change there then.

Steel, fillet-brazed, but not stainless. Hand-made by me, so tricky to put a value on. Priceless, obvs.

An artisanal hobby? 10 points.

^ Worth fuck all on the second-hand market though.

lol, like @danstuff would ever sell anything - He's got like 13 powermeters hoarded away.

Did you use fair trade, climate neutral gas and flux to make it? If no, deduct ten points, if yes, add 50.

was your apron and/ clothes worn to fabricate it simply expensive branded recreational clothing you pretend are your 'work clothes' because you spilled some Margot on the sleeve?

Oh fuck

So much me- Filson apron, dickies overalls with knee pads

Hangs head in shame

But neaux Margot

Have you dropped a mate on a climb yet?
If so, you could use this fascinating information in 5 years time.

Dropping means racing in my book. So no. If we're racing, we're not friends. Well, that's me out of macho bullshit for the day, who's taking the reins?

Next iteration?
