I’ll play, but miss me with your pseudo-intellectual stuff or I will opt right out. Also, don’t be purposefully dense just to argue. Don’t give a damn about your “experience” either cause I can’t verify it.
You know what I meant, cmon. If they realized the issues of constantly pushing a higher-priced set of bikes, they could right the ship back to a middle ground and offer alloy bikes that are just as competitive.
My point is that any gifted kid who could compete at a high level, may not be able if they aren’t also gifted with parents who can afford to get them there.
“We” is the bike industry and the customers who have reinforced a certain behavior from all those around us and the bike companies. If i could have it my way, I and every other higher category rider would race on stuff that would not qualify as a superbike.
