It takes me longer to type. When I started, that post was not there. I type with one finger and edit a lot.

I type fast with both hands, so maybe kinda like the difference in speed between modern bikes and vintage bikes? LOL.

Are we too biased towards C+V here to do that test? I'd love it if someone here who has the bikes, hills, and all the other necessary equipment would do a test of some kind. it will still be non-scientific, but a lot of fun to see.

You rather watch women eat feces and kiss than two men with a loaf of bread pecking?
Yikes.
In any case... the steel bike looks like a proper ride ready to go whereas the crabon looks like a sculpted chunk of plastic, unwieldy and fake.
