There is a difference between "it's

A rider has to have the will and the legs for the equipment to matter, lacking those it's just 41-ish yammering about hardware fads.
If Beryl was alive today she'd put down incredible times on modern equipment.
If a rider lacking grit and good legs rode a TT on her old FG today and turned in the inevitable lousy time for the era it was built in they'd blame the bike.
