Right. It really doesn't matter what sort of fancy kit your bike has. At the end of the day, if it is not a good fitting bike (ie. What some people THINK is a good fit, isn't) Youre ultimately limiting your power output, where you ride, for how long, and how much you enjoy the thing.
let me write a quick guide regarding what is actually important when it comes to selecting the right bike
1. Correct stack and reach measurement according to your body disposition
2. Correct crank arm length
3. Correct stem and handlebar size/orientation
