>>1653186>Why do you guys hate disposable bikes so much?You know there are lightbulbs out there that are more than 100 years old and are still working on a daily basis, and that all newer bulbs are specifically designed to fail within a few hundred hours. Those old bulbs are freaks or anomalies, that's how they used to make them, but jews quickly realised they couldn't build financial empires off the back of products that last more than a human lifetime and so conspired to ensure that noone would make a lightbulb like that ever again.
This mentality dominates every industry, all products have been nerfed in such a way as to require constant repurchase, that is consoomerism in a nutshell and carbon bikes are the cycling industries version of that.
Unless you are a professional racer who's livelihood depends upon hundredths of seconds shaved off stage times you don't need a carbon bike, if you are not a pro and you own one you are an actual retard, you have ascended to peak consoomer status where you actually choose the worst possible option because it's the most expensive.
There's a reason why old bikes are so beloved, it's because you can buy one that has been completely abvused with dents and scratches and all the scxars of as well lived life and still enjoy it safely today. Whereas you can buy a brand bnew plastic bike, and carbon fiber is plastic, it's polymer resin with some carbon fibres mixed in, a plastic bike can fail catastrophically within hours of you receiving it for no other reason that some part of the moulding process was faulty or the delivery man knocked the box with his knee.
A carbon frame is like pink hair ot a tattoo on the face, they act as a marker to help identify spastics, and so for that reason I appreciate their existence, if I see a carbon bike I know exactly who I'm dealing with and much wasted tiome can be saved.
