    Bounceswoosh put it better - it's culturally acceptable to buy expensive jewelry or a gorgeous dress without being Nicole Kidman, so there's really no reason one should feel wrong about buying a nice bike without being a pro-level rider.

    How was the race?! I'll look for the full report later. You're writing, so it couldn't have been all bad!

    No need to defend your position on jewelry! I feel the same way, and I can fix it if it breaks. Most of us would rather buy bike stuff.

    Sorry for the hyjack, Zen. I's to blame.

    still hijacking...

    I wear my french wire earrings with backs on them. Usually just the little plastic tubes that they sometimes come secured to the card with. You can buy the little tubes at the craft store in the jewelry making section.

    If I have my hair down, they can't be seen. You can snip them in half, too.
