I get it -- the pull of confirmation bias is strong when you have invested this much time and money into a bicycle that is no better than the one you had before it.I don't care too much for the picky variables that make little difference to my total race time. I have been somewhat laughed at for not caring about drag or whatever (to a degree). I also am more than happy to spend my money how I like, it's really not that much of an investment. It feels quick, I love riding it. I like 'it' as an object. I ride well on it. I train hard on it.
There is no bias. I like both bikes. I like riding the Dimond more. Maybe I am biased because I like riding it more. I certainly am not biased because I spoent a couple of grand on it, it's hardly an 'investment' it's a couple of grand on a bicycle. I would happily say if I didn't like it. The Scott may be quicker. I don't know. You don't either though.
