“This is my crappy bike” – posts it on r/Bikeporn
Old skool. Nice. Before upgrades were marketing based.
Subtle flex. We onto you son
Come on now, that’s not that bad! That’s actually a pretty good build.
Bro – there’s nothing crappy about this – it’s a rad build and i’d be proud to ride this around (just not in a crosswind)
I always upvote 105
This is what this sub should be about. Not stock pinarellos or whatever you can find exactly the same on their websites.
This is my kind of bike porn. Love this one. Like you said, this isn’t for the wireless shifting crowd but damn it’s a fine rig.
“Old,” – yes. “Crappy!” How dare you – this is the made in USA Cannondale!!! (I had a Caad 8 – loved it)
