I own some very nice bikes with very nice equipment attached to them. I would be the first one to admit, however, that both my C59 and C60 are WAYYYYYYYYYYY faster than me.
I own those bikes because they make me smile when I ride them, not to go faster.
I was hinting at freedom to consume, not egalitarianism and was having a bit of a troll, in any case. I am also pretty slow and have a nice bike.
And yes, I know about the 1%. First hand.
