Re:
I might be jumping in here out of turn but I don't own anything less than 20 years old and find that there's a general snobbery by this year's model and matching kit.
I commute a 40+ mile journey 2-3 times a week, which is mostly off-road (I'm very lucky) and older riders / older bikes tend to say Hi, but flash Harry just rides at me and barges me out of the way. E-bikes are the worst, never slow down when oncoming, and get really snotty if you overtake....
