This. Long distance rides require it.
Ever try without?
I used to do centuries in DC just noodling for an entire Saturday. Wore jeans. It's really not necessary to wear that shit.

Yes, I have tried without. It sucks.
I don't give a rats ass what you or anyone else think about people wearing cycling clothes. I am exponentially more comfortable wearing them.

I do wear lycra—when I do 'cross races. Every time. Because having heavy, muddy, cold and wet clothes flapping in the breeze is terribly uncomfortable. And that's if your t-shirt doesn't just rip.
It's too practical not to then, but I don't otherwise because I don't like being associated with the kind of asshole personalities you find in lycra suits. Y'know, the kind of people who say you have to wear lycra once you get to a certain level of performance that I obviously haven't reached yet.

GOOD! Do you! I'm devoid of fucks! I mean it looks goofy as hell so of course I'll make fun of that, but all good if it works for you. Just don't try to tell me it's "necessary" because it isn't. Some people find it helpful, that's it.

I semi pro cyclist and excellent runner told me about cycling on some ride near San Francisco. He came up on a woman cyclist who wore a corset and floppy hat and could ride like the wind. She enjoyed trashing the macho kit dressed guys with her clearly non-cyclist fashion statement.

The only thing that really matters as far as speed is concerned, given a quality bike, without measuring to the nanosecond, is power output. How freaking strong are your legs? How much heart/lung capacity do you have? Weight is also have a pretty big factor. I am talking about the weight of the rider and not the bike. Even though I participated in weight weenie like purchase decisions during my builds, I certainly didn't take it all that seriously given my fitness level. There was a rider in our weekly ride group that rides a big knobby thread giant tire mountain bike that probably weighed double what my bike weighed. He was always at the front with the fastest riders who were on expensive, speed built bikes.
My bike was sub 16lbs until I snapped the weight weenie chain. The replacement chain took it above 16lbs. lol

lol my singlespeed is about 18 lbs. Plenty light considering that I'm a cyldesdale according to your folk.

The local guy has mostly trail stuff but he did have this Trek FX2, somewhere between hybrid and gravel. Lighter than my current trek, thinner tires but not too thin. I think he’s asking 770.
Thoughts?

There's a seriously eccentric motherfucker I see every weekend morning here. He looks like James May if he lost 50 lbs and rides a Bianchi that I think is older than me. He always wears a t-shirt, bathing trunks and birks. He's got no saddle bag on him, no helmet, nothing at all except eagle feathers he put behind his saddle.
He rides in from Richmond, which is 110 miles away.

The FX series almost single-handedly kept the lights on at one of the shops I worked in. We'd have scads of them and they'd fly off the shelves in the summer. They used to call them "fitness hybrids." In my opinion, they don't make bad ones.
$770 sounds reasonable. Is it fun and comfortable?

It was fun until I turned around and went uphill.
Comfortable enough. Have to see what it does to my ass around mile 15

The ass thing gets better after you (1) adjust it (ask them to do it, almost certainly they will and no that's not at all a weird request) and (2) you get some miles in.
There's always a chamois and butt butter. Ask these other guys about that, though.

@Aqua-Letifer “these guys” indeed. I was riding a bloody $400 Schwinn before I got my Emonda (since my wife gave away my old Reynolds framed bike from yesteryear). The main reason I upgraded was because I lost all feeling in my hands after an hour, and then it kind of escalated to duck shoes and 80’s heavy metal pants

You've obviously had some bad experiences and are now determined to forever aggressively hate everything and everyone that has anything to do with road bike culture.
Some road bikers are nice guys, some are assholes, just as in all other areas of life. I for one have yet to meet anyone who fits to the stereotype you hate so passionately.

I think maybe it’s a bit more extreme in the US. Where I grew up in the North of England there were cycling clubs everywhere and the asshole was much less of a thing . Ribble Cycles started as a local bike store in my hometown

Those look like the pathfinder tires I have. Smooth on the edge/tip for roads, wider/grip when you hit gravel/dirt. What happens to your ass after 15 miles? Ask Aqua's sister.
