the only posers are the people who call other people posers. and you know damn f*cking right i paid for all my bikes, unlike you getting your moms boyfriend to pay for half.
that is extremely true.
im not calling him a poser, im saying hat with that bike and the type of riding he does, he doesn't deserve the bike, it makes him look like a poser
who cares, at least hes riding and hes not one of those kids that buys a 2000$ bike and then only rides it to school and back.

i dont give a shit its my bike, not yours. so why make fun of it?
that doesnt make any sence. i am allowed to judge anything i want. and why would you give shit? not a very good gift. and, where the hell did i make fun of your bike? i said: "why upgrade a norco?" and then: "we all wonder.
the only norcos worthy of upgrades are the six series, xxxx, and the up and coming five."
just stop dissing me please, theres really notthing wrong with my bike, it works for the riding i do, im not gonna buy a right expensive bike and look like a poser like you do, theres no need for a 3000$ bike, with the riding we do, its retarded

why all the hostility? this is not the point of this thread! who gives a shit what he rides? he rides right? thats all that matters, it doesn't matter if its a 600$ stock, hardtail, fourth hand ride. for those of us who can spend a fortune on bike parts, cool, for those who cant, good for you for getting out and rocking your stuff, regardless of what it looks like!

my wife actually sat down a few weeks ago and totaled up what i have spent on my rides over the couple years (lucky for me she only looked at the bank statements from one account), she didn't factor in cash, the other day i sat down and worked out what i have spent over the last few years, i think i should probably check myself into rehab.

2004 K2 Attack 2.0 $750
extra crap for it $100

one i don't really want to talk about $100

2006 FRW Northrop 1000 Euro/$1300 *stock
build kit/other shiny bits/protective equipment $2000
"custom" paint job $25

2006 Cannondale Prophet $1400

2006 my Stumpy Comp $2000

2007 Specialized Womans Stumpy Comp $2200
plane ticket to fly halfway around the world to get the exact bike she wanted $900

2007 Stinky (frame and shock only) $700
