Well it seems right and left coast agree here. A bike shop manager in Concord, CA once told me "The best bike in the world is the one that gets ridden the most". I may not choose to ride my best bike in the rain but I do not collect them to stare at them either.

If youse want a wall hanger, get a picture of Lance or a plasma screen TV with a bicycle screensaver. If I don't want to ride it, I won't buy it. No right opinion here either, just opinions.
