No! Not everyone has high-end bikes!
I've never ridden a sub 20 lb bike.
Never had deep dish wheels.
Never had the luxury of special anything.
But I made it to cat1 and did my Euro stint in the late 90's.
A Trek 1000 is plenty of bike to win a race on. Once you get to the ProTour level, then you can start worrying.
