Personally, I love passing the guys that go out of their way to style themselves on a $10,000 bike with all the newest gear. That being said, if I had the money to spare, I'd probably do the same. Looking good is a perk, but speed is where it's at. Speed looks good.I love reading this, yet I rarely see it. I'm one of those guys on a expensive bike and I tend to only get passed by other guys on similar bikes, yet I pass a ton of guys on cheaper bikes. (could be because my swim sucks, but so be it)
Now if you are talking about passing 60+ year olds on $10k bikes - well, good for you. - you should.
Yeah, me too. I, too, love the idea of someone (me?) being on "lesser" gear and whoopin up on somebody with better stuff but I just don't see it often in my neck of the woods. Plus, I am also on a P3 with 404 & Zipp disc and I'm only getting passed (not terribly often either) by guys on similar setups. I am also a slow swimmer so I have that going for me as well...
