I'm honestly happy that she raised as much money as she did. For the amount of money she raised, she can ride what ever bike she wanted. Yeahhh I'm bit jealous.
And oakleaf, great catch about the helmet. doh!! Glad to see some celeb who isn't "all about me" or the guy in country music I can't stand singing "what about me!" so it's a breath of fresh air.
As for Specialized giving her a S-works ruby. What a wonderful marketting. Even though, like aicabus, I think its a waste of such a fine machine but then who is to judge. am I worthy to own a S-works Transition Pro with SRAM force... as my TT bike??
What really gets me annoyed or irked is when a person is using a sports equipment that does not match their ability and where they become unsafe and dangerous. As an example, I would be upset if I saw someone with very little or no experience trying to ride my TT bike. That would be way too dangerous. Another example I see all the time is in alpine skiing. I see this especially with guys. They get "racing boots" super stiff... top of the line Lange, Atomic, Rossignol, Nordica... THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE to say the least medevil foot torture device at worst but the 1-1/2minute to 5minutes of race they are great. for a recreational skier it is a very dangerous piece of equipment causing all those torn knees and blown knees.
S-work Ruby for JLo? Probably a waste of good machine in one sense but atleast, she's not a danger to herself.
