here's a few to get things started: anything that's painted 'celeste', wing bars, bibs that run down to the knee, slow riders with aggressive fits, club cut jerseys, white bar tape with black hoods, specialized road bikes, wide weave CF, blue bikes, riders who wear sleeveless jerseys with no helmets, campagnolo on treks, shimano on pinarellos, helmet mirrors, camelbacks, brooks saddles, 6" of spacers...

I'm tempted to get me some bibs to wear while biking. Specifically, bib overalls, farmer style.

Oh great merciful crap YES.
Knee high cotton socks bunched up around the ankles. Usually accompanied by 15 year old single strap shoes.

Celeste is awesome as long as it's Bianchi... or on a Bianchi. Celeste does not belong on ANY other bike.

Wow, you know if the majority of you lived out in SoCal or a warm-weather environment, you wouldn't be having sh*t threads like this one and instead be riding more often.
