>>1357537you go marginally slower from numerous small concessions and a pure road bike which is totally focused on being svelte and fast is a quite beautiful thing.
I'd also argue that a frameset with rack mounts should be reinforced in areas to ride well with atleast a light load.
And that a bike with wide tyre clearances should be geared lower to deal with slower unsealed roads.
And that a bike suited for riding on rougher roads and with loads should have stronger, heavier wheels which will survive those things.
All that will affect an experienced fast road rider.
