Pedigree Is Important

It’s not enough for some people to just have a dog. Their dog also has to have a story. This might mean it’s an exotic breed, or that they bought it from a famous breeder. Or else, if it’s not a designer dog and it came from a shelter, it has to be something “rugged” or “urban,” like a pit bull. The same goes for bikes. Gentrifiers obsess over the provenance of their bicycles. Either it’s a vintage Italian road racing frame, or a genuine Japanese keirin frame, or maybe even an eighties BMX. Otherwise it’s the bicycle equivalent of a pit bull—a fashionably battered beater bike that looks rugged but actually has a $100 headset and $400 hubs.
