>>1625861yes, obviously some upgrades make sense, but up to a certain point, it's just diminishing returns. It would be silly if he hypothetically spend 800 pounds upgrading a 1000 pound bicycle when he could buy a objectively better bicycle for less money with cash to spare for some bib shorts or shrek dvds or some shit.
nice things are nice. and whats nicer than a brand new bicycle? who is even the target audience of these "fitness/speed" bikes? I just suspect that this guy has a need for speed and that some day down the line, he will probably buy a new road/gravel bike and he will regret wasting his money on pointless upgrades. who knows..
