Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That might be true but after spending $4,000+/- on a Cervelo another $45 is no big deal

While on the surface that seems logical, but you then apply that logic to everything you buy for it, then you have a big sink hole.

On the surface putting cheap tires on a 911 makes no sense as well.

The bottle cages on my Addict are faster than the bottle cages on pcad's Addict. They say "Supergo" - so you know they're fast. Very fast.

In some instances it does! If your the type of person who would never put a 911 north of 70mph nor get tail happy in hairpins then why would you bother spending $1,600 for tires that's capable of doing 150mph+? Oh that's right, prestige-bragging rights-the ability to LOOK like you drive faster then your great grandfather does. You see, it's all this make believe Hollywood stuff America loves, thus we MUST ride bikes that are $8,000 so we can look like we can go fast.

Truer even yet- I've owned cars with 160 mph rated tires that wouldn't do 160 of the side of Mt Doom!

The way I look at it, $4,000 on a bike is a cheap mid-life crisis. The ability to ride a bike the same as pro's is amazing and relatively cheap. In addtion a high-end bike does provide a better ride and is lighter. Not all purchases have to be rational. Look at Pcad he has a very nice bike and then goes a buys a second one that is almost as nice.

Let's face it, cycling is more of a hobby for most of us. Pcad as well as myself and most of you ain't making our living turning pedals over.
So to spend what he has is nothing compared to what others waste on Crap. In fact his bikes aren't even that much compared to a lot of builds on weightweenies.
Which is why I get a kick out of his histrionic display of what he buys. He wreaks of rampant insecurity but it is hard to get mad or dislike those who are "special".

Do you honestly think pcad takes all of this seriously? It's the friggin' internet, for Christ's sake. Anything Al Gore invented shouldn't be taken seriously.

I find it all in good fun. I don't think he is anymore insecure than most of us. Just wish he would add a little more content to his one line posts, which only seem to be about quantity and not quality.
