I confess that my bike is super-ugly, but I love it. Yet when I look at vastly better and sexier bikes I always think something like 'eurgh non-matching bar tape - revolting'. Also I confess that when I got absolutely spanked at silly commuter racing by a guy on a fancy road bike going round regents park yesterday, I was actually trying my very hardest whilst trying to make it seem like I wasn't trying. Feels good to get that off my chest.
