Apparently Peter Sagan disagrees with you

But seriously, Rubiksoval gave good advice. I never understood why people get expensive, lightweight, high end bikes and parts for casual riding and training, then throw together some cheap, heavy beater for the one thing that counts.

If you're new to racing, chances are whatever bike you have is not going to hold you back for now. I don't know about getting carbon frames for the same price as aluminum ones (otherwise I'd own a carbon bike right now), but it's true that you can wreck either frame just as easily.
