What is curious though, is that of the total biking population very few actually race. So while this set-up maybe condusive to racing, it probably isn't best for the typical weekend/rec rider - yet these are the people these bikes are marketed and sold to. Ultimately I think folks here are just a bit more honest with themselves.
