Maybe its just a lycra thing as opposed to the bike. I remember XCing with my uncle over the South Downs when I was about 13, and him being adamant that 45miles was good enough to wear lycra, so I ended up having to wear it. I used to do mountain bike trials at the time, never worn lycra in my life, but got called a 'loser' by some MTBers as we rode into Eastbourne.
I felt outcasted by my own kind, just for wearing spandex.
