Goddammit. My bikes are bloody awesome. I've spent several years speccing them out to my riding style and now they fit me like a glove.

What the hell am I going to do now? How the hell can I blame my equipment for my mistakes when it is freaking fantastic?

I don't know what to do....

You can get that automatic transmission thing that some other user was proposing so you aren't in your big cog while doing a drop?

There, you can blame your equipment again!

I love it, but you need to do some color coding to find something to match your calves. Maybe fill up your water bottle with some skim milk?

I'm more visually offended by the low cut socks.

Still room for more color matching. Rims, fork, pedals & bars at a minimum . And not a touch of yellow on the helmet? Amateur hour.

I think I see a tiny yellow sticker on the helmet

Speaking of the helmet, is there a spike sticking out of the center bottom vent or am I really blind?

I don't think that's a spike. I think it's a catch loop for low-hanging branches.

Get a single speed so you have an excuse for everything.

Ohhhh, for trail maintenance on the fly? I could see it as a hook, sorta like landing a plane on an aircraft carrier that's been adapted for a chair lift.

That's great - can't think of a thing that could go wrong!

This is the answer. Clearly he now needs a new bike. For reasons.

The skin tone is definitely in need of adjustment. A tan would greatly reduce the chance of reflective blindness when riding too close to the OP.

It's a loop for the bike light cable.

Hehehehe... it's amusing how its perfectly acceptable to mock a white guy for his whiteness, imagine if you stated a black guys skin color was too black or an Asian guy's to yellow.... the skin color police would be getting the hanging, drawing and quartering equipment out and ready for use.

But yes, thats in the depths of winter so no tan going on at all.

I will try better next time!

My knees do not take kindly to single speeding..... they enjoy the correct gear and get very grumping otherwise.
