One For The Neurotic Riders
Here are some photos I shot of a bike belonging to a very strong local racer. This is his bike after a two day bike race. It's the only road bike he owns and he has put what I would assume is nearing 50,000 miles on it.
So next time you're concerned about scratching your frame or concerned you're bike's too worn to go on, these are great photos to look at.

that's cool. However, I'll say that my RB-1 has seen far, far worse.
Rub some mud and grease on the frame, spit on it once in a while and it'll gain way more seniority.........

Nice. So he runs a MTB rear derailleur and cassette? I assume the rubber band is because of a broken return spring for the shifter paddle - the one that returns the paddle from the 'sprinters grip'. Hoods sure look nice...

What you (the OP) are saying is that some people ride and some people pose.

^^^ looks like something from www.purelycustom.com but I couldn't find the artwork there.
Really nice little 'photo essay' there. Makes me want to pull out the camera and snap a few this afternoon.

You should really get Lightroom, though, nick - much faster and more efficient for photographers.

I have no idea what I am supposed to whip out, plus I have no itching. I used some gold bond medicated powder and it took care of the itching. I was just asking a question.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out what his racing cat had to do with this thread. I assumed you meant it as a slight in reference to the strong racer comment. I'm also pretty sure you know (or know how to find out) what his status is so the only point of your question was to point out to everyone else what cat he is in. Carry on.
