yeah, enough to glean your pictures don't show you actually doing forty (anyone can whip out a camera rolling to a stopsign ), and the tangible variables that result in comfort while riding a bike long distance disagree with you.

In conditions like the second photo, a bike with wide tires and full fenders handles better, has better pavement stick, and is more comfortable-because you're not soaking wet in the chamois, eating road grime while sketched about your tires' contact patch letting loose in the corners!

These fundamental truths about bicycling are inescapable homeyba, no matter how aero you went 800k in.

Fit won't fix grime in the chamois
