Starley - For people who are in denial that they're riding an open-mould frame.
Gios - Steel is for Eroica fans and carbon is for idiots.
Dolan - For people who would happily pay a bit more so their bike doesn't say Ribble on it.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0 -
Ha! Scathing.

planet x?
Ribble?
(i really like these reviews! Grill - do you do non cycling brands too? Apple? Samsung?)www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -
planet x?
Ribble?
They are more or less the same thing, on opposite sides of the Pennines. Both appeal to my Yorkshire money saving tendencies...
As did the "Scott is for those that scooped up a great frame at a third of retail" - guilty as charged.0 -

Ribble?

Ribble is for people who want to use their Cyclescheme vouchers but can't be assed to leave the house.
Planet X is for people who NEED a carbon bike or they can't even.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0 -
I bought my planet x carbon frameset because it was cheaper than all the alloy ones from anywhere else0

I wanted an alloy one, but they were too expensive....... it's perverse0

Ritte is for douchebags.
No, I don't own one, amongst others I ride a Cervelo (for people who think they understand the intricacies of bike design but don't, or those having a mid life crisis but can't afford a Pinarello)
Haha ... I have a Cervelo and a Allez for winter duties ...
This makes me a middle aged, crisis ridden, half witted noddy! To be fair, I've been called worse and it's not that far from the truth!
Still thinking of something clever to say!0 -
Back to the original question - yes there's absolutely bundles of it (as evidenced by most of the responses!).Cannondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra
Kinesis Racelight 4S
Specialized Allez Elite (Frame/Forks for sale)
Specialized Crosstrail Comp Disk (For sale)0 -
So basically everyone who uses a different bike or dresses differently to you is a sh*t w**ker and only you are the best ? You just name all your Strava activities "Short windy sociable recovery ride Z1 with the missus". Anyone who beats your Strava time must be wind assisted."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0

Canyon is for people that like to wait months before ever getting their bike,
Mine arrived 2 weeks after I ordered it. And it was during the peak Christmas delivery time too."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0 -
Correction- Canyon is for serious people who do serious cycling. At Christmas. Serious Christmas.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0

I don't think I'm a cycling brand snob,
I only wear Rapha whilst astride something titanium and Italian though obviously.One plays football, tennis or golf, one does not play at cycling0 -

Let's hear your thoughts on cannondale then grill?One plays football, tennis or golf, one does not play at cycling0 -
Cannondale is for overly-logical cyclists who think change is overrated and everything new is a fad.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0

Well I'm a big cannondale fan and own three currently and have had another in the past, iv got to say I don't think that's me, I like the traditional geo of the Evo (which is why I bought one) however there are lots of new bikes (the new venge for one) that tickle my fancie,
Half a point.One plays football, tennis or golf, one does not play at cycling0 -
Funny you should talk about snobbery and mention Giant and Cannondale.
I wouldn`t touch either ! and I ride a Trek !
De Rosa rulesTrek,,,, too cool for school ,, apparently0 -

I thought most of the responses were tongue in cheek. Of course there is some, but any more than amongst car, motorcycle, fishing or any other enthusiasts? Probably not.Back to the original question - yes there's absolutely bundles of it (as evidenced by most of the responses!).0 -
WHAAAAAAAAT? Of course I'm being serious! Well, not super serious as I don't own a Canyon...
Enigma is for those who like Rourke but don't think it's posh enough for them.
Boardman are for people that haven't yet figured out that just because a famous person's name is on something, doesn't make it good (see Cipollini for a more egregious example of this).English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0 -

I ride a CAAD10, fear change and wear retro jerseys.
But then I am a snowboarder too. And we all know that snowboarding is a fad. A 40 year old fad Cube - Peloton
