I agree, it's funny how so many people believe performance is so dependent on equipment. Good marketing at work?
If a rider cant keep up with a group on a decent older (or newer, for that matter) bike, jumping up several grades bike-wise isnt going to change that, imo. It's all about your fitness level.
