I don't have a problem spending some coin for an amazing bike, but I actually want to use it for it intended purpose which is to race it. I hate when I see race bikes absolutely neutered being ridden around at 12 miles an hour with a stem that goes straight up in the air. Again, I'm not trying to sound arrogant, but most of us don't need the same frame the pros are riding. I certainly don't need it, but it is a nice luxury however. I also want to use it for time trials, and some triathlons. However, I can't afford to replace a whole bunch of frames. I'm leaning towards the team, and I may try to get it of ebay. If I crash it, at least I won't be in tears over being out 3200 bucks. Some say the team soloist rides great, some say it is very harsh. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Thanks.
