    Someone mooted this idea on a thread recently. The STW ubiquitous products we know all the others have.
    I though it might be fun to make a full list. I shall start if I may:

    Car — Audi

    Car — Audi
    Van- VW T5
    Shoe — Brogues
    Razor —– Merkur
    Stove—– (we need a model here)
    Coffee maker—- (again is there a model)

    Sorry is this typical STW things that “I” actually own? Or just typical things that the generic stw composite should own in internet land?

    I guess the STW composite stereotype. Just to maintain the feeling of that I posted this in the wrong forum.

    I’m hoping this is going to be a list of things, none of which I own. Winning so far.

    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!

    I have got an Inbred SS, an axe and a Bell Stoker though.

    My hunch is that we all own or have access to at least one internet enabled device

    But you want the stereo type

    They are non subscriber using and an ipad and they mainly post that they can’t see the forum because its hidden behind the adverts

    Be so into enduro it hurts.

    Is that “STW” for, “Crashes often”.

    Items owned, for the “definitive” list of whether one is STW, might include:
    Flashy watch/es.
    Extensive collection of cycling related books, all of which have been read!
    Extensive collection of cycling specific, merino wool clothing.
    Overly powerful front light.
    Extensive collection of apple products.

    I presume the other obvious STW meme is now a banhammer offence?

    Uses “trackworld” in the title even though it makes no sense.

    Rides a niche brand rigid SS with silly handlebars.

    Skoda Fabia if you can’t afford an Audi.
    Road bike. Any will do. More expensive the better. Obviously.
    Alpkit jacket/sleeping bag/anything.
    Hip flask.

    Skoda Fabia, Cotic Soul and Alpkit jacket are the only ones I’m pleading guilty to so far

    Road bike and no MTB 😉

    or maybe an MTB but given it up due to the hassles of washing it and only rides road now (or maybe road for the winter)

    Congratulations. We have all just described Chipps.

    I don’t seem to be that true to the clique, sorry. 🙂

    Car – Fiat Doblo
    Work in IT – not exactly. Unless you count this.
    Beard – nope
    Woodstove – yes, it’s an Aarrow I think
    Coffee machine – I use an Aeropress mostly, or cafetiere
    Children and married – neither
    Dog – yes. A poodle
    Have built a shed – haven’t built anything out of wood since woodwork class at school
    Several watches – Oh, OK then.
    Expensive camera – yes, but I claim a professional need for it/them.
    Alpkit – I do have a sleeping bag of theirs

    Expert in the fields of:
    Firearms – nope. Though I’m a decent shot apparently
    Politics – couldn’t be less interested
    Foreign Affairs – ditto
    Religion – same again.

    I do have a Merkur razor though – and some Edwin selvedge jeans.

    Shall I stop now? I seem to have re-entered the cliché 🙂

    There is more than one stereotype category. The T5 driver or the berlingo driver. The Jones or the Soul. The Audi or the Octavia, etc.
