Also, have you ever posted pictures of what you ride? You have a lot of opinions, I'm curious to what your ideal build is like.
stiffer and lighter. In practice it just means you have more options. I for instance was replacing my aero bars and found I could get a base bar super cheap with them but it was 31.8 which I figured would come in handy for tts at some point. However now I need to get an adaptor and a threadless stem for my fuji.
What my ideal build is and why I ride are two very very different things.
For instance my track bike is a stock fuji track with the saddle and pedals replaced. Ideally I would have a custom frame with a disk rear and front trispoke....
