Grant Peterson over at Rivendell Bicycle Works created a portmanteau, beausage, to describe beauty through usage.  It's usually never a traditional form of beauty, but involves forgotten grit and worn through parts longing to be replaced.  Forget the mileage and training regiment.  Ride with friends, in all conditions, and maintain your bike when you get the chance. A clean bike is a wall hanger, get that shit dirty and enjoy it!  A good friend, Alex Steinker, is keeping the dream alive back in my home state of Ohio while riding his Ritchey Swiss Cross.
