LOL, there is that aspect to consider. I'm not into being showy, so I'm wondering if I might feel a bit self-conscious if I built the entire bike from the ground up with top tier components just for the sake of it.
Again not something I've really given that much thought. My own performance level is more 105 than D/A for sure!
