You can parse the words “full advantage,” but it’s pretty clear that you’re contradicting yourself here.
But I’ll take you seriously, for the moment. I would suggest that you are dead wrong: Anyone can indeed take full advantage of a nice racing bike. If it makes a pro faster, why wouldn’t it make any old amateur racer faster? And again, if you’re going to parse the words “full advantage,” please tell us how you would measure that. (These are serious questions that I’d like you to address, rather than dismiss with some pithy remark) And again, none of this – none of the stuff you’re writing about – has anything to do with the thread’s premise.
