And it seems a big one for many whether you ever raced or not, I never did.
I rode too small bikes most of my life and made them work, thought they were fine until I finally got some that were big enough.
The big ones are so much better, I can push a higher gear much further and most importantly I can get up many hills without digging into the basement.
Which is very good at this stage as I have been banged up a bit from bikes and MC's, riding the bike now helps keep a lot of that in check, a very good thing.
For me it is truly amazing the difference, YMMV.
