right. ^^^
and who voluntarily goes on a 34 mile ride in order to save 20 seconds. might as well just walk the last 100 yards and call it good. or start 20 seconds earlier.
but i get why people spend all this money for nothing. (i saw a guy in a late model Corvette the other day, sporting some of the most gawdawful chrome rims you've ever seen. it was obvious to me the guy had some extra money left over after he purchased the car. he should have just bought a nicer car

). i really do. i did it when i bought my first couple of adult bikes. i didn't know better is all. i remember i even bought some Phil Wood, and Campy record stuff. imagine that!
experience turns us into poor consumers, from a retailer's perspective, i guess.
