I feel the same. The other day I saw a guy in plain clothes riding an old scruffy steel pinarello, metallic green, chromed drivetrain, flat bar, cosmic carbone high profile rim in the front. I felt warm inside. So much bike geekery going on. And I susspect the guy didn't even know anything about it. He just used it for a commute.
On the other hand if I see a guy on a modernest latest tech bike with colour matched clothing (why is bike clothing stuck in the 80's?) - well it certainly does nothing for me in the feels deparment. (I'm not versed enough in english to describe it as I would like)
