You're dissillusioned.
You do realize that not everyone you pass is trying to race you right?
Also please refrain from using phrases like "most guys, "those guys",ect....
It's pretty pretentious and tiring as well.
-especially if you are talking about a demographic of which you are apparently an outsider to.
And if you truly believe that it's not the bike, it's the rider, why would you even
worry about someone else's equipment anyway?
People with carbon 10-speed bikes are those who are seriously competitive and understand that equipment matters (to a certain degree), or are those who just like nice things.
Whats wrong with that?
