The only way to discourage the purchase of outrageously pricey bikes is to work hard and be faster than the people that show more ambition with their wallets than they do with their training. Dropping bikes that cost 4x as much will lower the demand for such silliness.

I finally found an affordable (under $300) bike with a 180° top tube. So frustrating that most affordable road bikes these days have a sloped top tube, but I suppose that's to accommodate several different rider heights with one frame. Disclaimer: I purchased this bike for the frame only and will undoubtedly upgrade components over time.

What's happened to Specialized looks over the past few years? The Tarmac & (particulary) the Venge used to be amongst the best looking bikes in the peleton, and now no Venge in sight, and the latest Tarmacs are just plain ugly. And.....as for climbing bikes being as equally efficient as aeros, and vice-versa, surely whichever way you look at it this has been emperor's new clothes and smoke & mirrors- the reality is that it's more cost effective for manufacturers to have a procuction line making just the one model instead of spliiting losses between several - am I the only one thinking this???

🤣🤣🤣 the bike industry is slowly going under. It has no one to blame but itself absolutely no one but itself. Greedy disgusting corporations and their venture capitalist backers. Venture capitalists now own bike co. A high-end kitchen designer owns trek... specialized is in trouble. There is a massive amount of denial going on within the industry from the manufacturers to the Reps to the mopsy flopsy bike shops. I've worked in the industry now for 7 years, I've heard the conversations on & off the record. I've seen with my own eyes what's happening. The only thing keeping most bike shops afloat is service. More and more shops are going under... you are going to see the big four or five companies become two or three in the next 5 to 10 years. Demand is never coming back. Prices are way out of control. When a mid-level mountain bike is as expensive as a good level dirt bike you know there's a major problem. And road bikes are completely insanely overpriced. But you will ALWAYS have your statists parroting the company line... things are good things are good! Industries on the upswing Industries on the upswing! 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Buh bye...
