Here's your original post, right before you edited it -- for posterity:

"​​​​​​I know the team. Seen them over the years at races. Not real hard to know the top racers in Region even for a mongrel like you"


Stay classy.

Grammar isn't my thing.

In all seriousness, Larry is right. When was the last time you saw top racers with a mirror and all kinds of crap hanging off the bike. They'd rather die

Agreed, but I don't think Cat 6 commuters are "top racers."

Hopefully Google doesn't choose this as an example of "mutually exclusive".

I think Tripple Lights is at least a cat 2 or 3 level of fitness, I doubt he knows how to hold a wheel though. He's a heavy hitter, there are some really strong cat 6 racers around here

Yet you're embarrassed to use a mirror around him.

Larry, from I understand, you've never raced; is that correct? If so, perhaps you should refrain from assessing other riders' skills in this manner. (That's code for "You don't know what you're talking about.")

I've done a couple practice crits but the fields were sketchy, I don't think ill race this season. Id rather roll with the experienced riders than grind through cat 4/5 (paying money too boo), especially because people are really fit even in cat 5. Im not strong enough to win

I don't think so. I don't generally talk to other riders. I'd have been on the Litespeed, wearing all black kit.

With lights. And a saddle bag. So, obviously, a slow rider.....

Litespeeds are for slow people - its not carbon fiber so not performance

It would be fine if it was on a "racers bike"

Then you would be Cat 6 and a "Hitter"

On a bent, the closest thing you get to a comment about smoothness is "well, looks like that restless leg syndrome drug is helping a little."
