There is little overlap amongst these groups.
And on this forum, riders who do not own what you are discussing automatically say whateveer they don't own sucks. It defends their purchase.
Been that way for years. It's one of the things that defines this place.
And if you are riding pro stuff, none of it sucks. As for me, I ride what I ride due to relationships.
Enjoy...
Actually, you forgot those that buy because they are anti <fill in the blank>. I bought a Look 695 because I'm anti what everyone else is riding. And I wanted a handmade frame. There are only a handful of carbon bike builders that still offer a handmade frame--Look, Colnago, and Time are top that come to my mind.
