Serious Question
Will a $3000 carbon bike make me $3000 faster, or $3000 lighter?
If I find a $6000 bike for $3000, will I be $3000 or $6000 better?
I feel like I need to be at least $2000 faster, but I don't think an extra grand would hurt.

A $3,000 bike will make you faster. A lot faster.
If you ride in crack town. Make sure you wear a sign announcing the value of the bike.
