this is my "fast" bike --- disclaimer: I am stronger than you. Phsyically
Physically, you are weak. You push a lightweight frame at 20mph and you are proud. That's great. I ride a Rivendell. An Atlantis, to be exact. It has big tires and superior saddle / bars to what you may be used to.... But also, and this could very well shock you: it's a fixed gear
One speed, no coasting. That's fast. Say what you will about actual speed, about TPI, grams, aero, supplety, colorways, kit, etc. The fact of that matter is that I am physically stronger than you in every possible way. What you did was "buy" "speed" for "racing" - none of which are traits you posses. You are simplly a "racer" - I could probably snap your ribcage with my thighs going at half of what they are capable of. I dropped Lance on this bike in trans Iowa last year and he was absolutely fuming about it. Hell I dropped Guitar Ted too if you want more names.
I don't do roids, I don't dope. I eat red meat and I'm keto-paleo. I do deadlifts. I squat. I'm tall. What can I say? I've been riding since you were still in pajamas. And I'll keep riding, fast. Keep your tubeless crap and your exploding carbon steerer tubes -- I'll be riding lugged steal and loving it. You cowards
"Upgrade" all you want, you will never have as much fun as me on this bike. Just look at it. Really look. That's a real bike. I'm a real rider. Say your prayers, save your watts. This is the end for you
