whenever I see people with bikes (or boats, skis, etc) beyond the price range that their physical abilities and skill level should have shoe-holed them into, while I zoom past on a much older and beat up machine, I constantly must remember to tell myself "It's the horse, not the chariot"
Yes, it's the horse and not the chariot, if you're racing. Everything is relative, anyway, so why should high performance sports gear, like bikes, boats, skis, etc., be limited only to the fittest? Where do you draw the line? Why draw a line? Do you use a crappy laptop because you don't design web pages or create your own programs? Or a cheap, feature-poor camera because you're not a professional photographer? And how do you know your older and beat up bike isn't too good for you, too?

What?!? There's something wrong with being a poseur? Isn't that just about everybody on BF?

Thanks for the report. Looks like a great time.
