Built for/by somebody who works at Parlee.

Emborcation blog says built for one of them, so I guess the rider will be faster than any of you.

No offence.

More politics of envy

Sadly not limited to Pinarellos.
And there's also the 'my bike has teh crabon fibrez to make up for the mini pump/blackpool illumination lights/5 waterbottles/U-lock etc" mentality.

haha yes, those typres are my greatest bike related pet hate. but your forgetting moto-x mudguards, gel saddle covers, redundant plastic brackets (from all the previous accessories that have snapped/fallen off over time) and saddle bags (rusted shut from years of not being opened).
I can understand making a bike more comfortable or efficient for a purpose, but doing the opposite? wtf

as for envy, right now I have no lust for carbon. Though as I close in towards that magic age (about 45) I feel my need for t3h carbonz may increase.

Listen to yourselves will ya!
Who cares what other people buy or why they buy it?
The more 'fat business men with more money than blah blah' that spend money on these bikes, the more chance there is of companies being able to continue to develop new techniques and materials which may then filter down into bikes which all of you super slim, super fast, and far more deserving cyclists can afford, and then the more trips to LMNH you'll all be able to make on them to go watch other people racing the other bikes you still can't afford on the telly. ;]

Well said, the businessmen are fat because they spend a lot of time behind a desk, they have nice bikes because they earn a lot of money for spending more time at work than they get to ride. It's a trade-off so why shouldn't they have nice kit?

Yup. There aren't many people who have the money to spend on that kind of kit and still have enough free time to enjoy it.
I know for me personally, If i could afford to buy that kind of equipment without worrying about my finances I would. I wouldn't buy cheap, low end kit simply because I knew i would only get to use it a couple of times each month or because I looked 'too fat for my lycra'.
I actually quite like the thought of a whole group of these 'fat businessmen' getting to meet up once a month or whatever to go out and have a laugh riding bikes which they deserve to own far more than I do because they actually bothered to put time into building a career...unlike me who has spent most of his life making excuses for why I'm in debt and complaining about how little money I have. :]

Don't get me wrong, it probably looks like it'd fit me just great!
