I tried reading that thread earlier today but I had no idea what they were talking about. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

Read some of it. They're a little too serious about speed for me. Nobodies talking about which bike puts the biggest smile on their face. Personally I think it was the goofy aero helmet that made the time difference.

To quote myself (on the above-linked thread):
"Well, s**t! Why didn't you say so? Complete effing waste of time. Kinda like auto road tests in the Wall Street Journal (yes, they're in there every week. Makes almost as much sense as getting your financial advice from Road & Track.)"
(The test/video were from Men's Fitness magazine - just where I get all my cycling advice!)

I liked the comment made about Men's Fitness being more suited to comparing Cialis and Viagra.
