Same here. Was pumped to buy, then a $2k price increase. No thanks. I think the bike industry has lost touch with the general public and what we are willing to pay.

Unfortunately, some people are willing to fork out these absurd prices or they wouldn’t be selling out all the time.

I think that eventually the demand for $$$$ bikes will fall soon as that portion of the market is finite and would (theoretically) get saturated… I could be wrong but there can only be so many people that can afford a $7k bike, and they aren’t buying a new one every year.

[image] dendroica1: 48/10 is essentially the same as 52/11. Its been a while since I saw a bike that came with standard 53-39 crankset Eh, if the bikes supposed to be X% faster, then they should give us gears to pedal it faster…not less fast. At least a 50/10

53x11 at 110 RPM gives you 42.1 mph/67.8 kph. Are you still pedaling at that point? Honest question…just curious! Thats usually when I tuck a bit and pray my brakes still work :rofl: [Screenshot_20220821-171139_Chrome]

I was doing 38-39 today at 400w going down a 2% grade and definitely could’ve used another gear. Final set of TR interval…usually would reserve that for uphill but was running out of time to get to work so needed to do the last sets while going home. With a nice tailwind and some motivation I can…
