Screw up the race bike on the commute,
and you are just a spectator at the races.
how about 2 matching lesser bikes for the same amount, ?
the teams Bike cleaner will hose one off and then you go faster on muddy courses.
that's how many people win these days.. bike changes mid race.
It's not really the same amount for me. It would be 2 lesser bikes at MSRP compared to 1 race bike at a team discount (less than MSRP).
So for example say I got 2 lesser bikes at $500 each MSRP compared to my $2,000 bike with a 50% discount (not saying that is our team discount) at $1000 discounted price.
I'd much rather have the $2k bike vs 2-$500 bikes for the same price.
