I feel the same way about my bicycles. My 2006 Trek 1200 has something close to 15,000 miles on it now. It has all kinds of battle scars, and I like it that way. I look at other peoples' bicycles and can tell if they're the ones who go out on a saturday ride a few times per month, or whether they're actually hitting the road with it and enjoying the thing.
