What I didn't know is he is also inept at using a rag on them. I am not sure that welding the parts onto the bike could have bonded them on any tighter than the grime that was holding them in place. I found this discerning, knowing that T-Rent is smart enough to know better.
Whit told me more than once that you can't win on a dirty bike. This is a guy who has won more races than most of us will ever start, so I figured he knew what he was talking about. I would train with him all spring and his bike would look like it had been smeared in dog shit the entire time. He would not be able to get out of his own way on rides and both he and his bike looked horrific. Then, the weather would turn, he would show up on what used to be a bike smeared in dog shit, now gleaming and sparkling clean and promptly kick the shit out of everyone. That bike would always be clean while he was raging. Once it started getting dirty again, I knew the pain and suffering was close to stopping.
So back to T-Rent. He always bitches about his lack of results, but he never has a clean bike. I think that there is a correlation here. I decided to dig deeper, to try to get to the root cause of problem. How could a bike racer let their race equipment end up looking like this? Even the Punisher says if you can't be pro you should look it. I was getting concerned that Whit might not want this secret to get out. Maybe I am spilling the beans on something that shouldn't be made public?
I had to take my research farther. I decided to look into T-Rent's family background. Everyone blames everything on that anyway, so I figured it made sense to start there. I dug up this picture of he and his sister and decided to leave well enough alone.
I will clean the bike up and sell it, without asking any additional questions.
