No, I would not enjoy going faster on a bicycle because of an equipment upgrade, I will enjoy going faster by getting in better shape or improving riding position or technique though. Just as I enjoy being able to leave drivers of fast expensive automobiles far, far behind on twisty roads with my 130-horsepower Toyota Camry sedan because I am highly skilled at driving fast around sharp turns with all four wheels drifting a bit. And i feel sorry for those people too, who believed that buying that expensive fast car would make them the person depicted in the marketing for it. You have never heard, it is much more fun to drive a slow car fast, than to drive a fast car slow. Thank-you for your time and thoughtful reply to what I typed though.
