perfectly specced for a good price that's good to go right out the
door. Heck, you can even buy skirt/coat guards at the department store
over there....


Why not bring one back? Did bicycles stop being no extra charge on
international flights?


I usually don't have $1000 plus duty that I can just drop when I'm
over there, and taking a bike box on the airport bus would be sheer
hell. Not worth the hassle.

You are right Tom,
If I were to die tonight, and wake up a tree-hugging liberal, with
whatever is the current godless sexual tendency, then LO's suggestion

Yeah, you either like the color[1] of Bartali, Coppi, Argetin and
Pantani or you don't. Personally, ♥. YMMV.

[1] Or colors. Bianchi Celeste has, over the years, been more greyish,
more bluish, more greenish and recently with various iridescent tones.

Why do road bikes all look like gay pride parade floats and their riders
dress like clowns?

To give you something to dream about.

My road bikes come in any color you like (as long as it's black).

As to the gay issue, I don't think there's anything gayer than wearing
spandex pants or similar - in any color.


The real question is, why are you so obsessed with what is gay and what
isn't?
