I understand why ed and clearly others jumped to the standard LFGSS "OH MAI GAD DENTAST MONEYZZZ $$$" more money than sense etc. Because of his high budget and asking for advice came the snide remarks.
The hypocrisy is ridiculous. I could say the amount of times you've changed your bike JB and the cost each time if I were dropping that much I would hope to " have known what I was looking for" as well.
At least this guy is trying to bounce ideas off people looking to get advice before doing so. Which is where i came in and apart from my advice about bike fit/consider 2nd hand/ or even chinese express etc I know feck all about anally light road bikes. So I asked the people that supposedly do

I think the thing is... if most card carrying roadies were given 4k to blow they'd probably only spend 2k on an OTP bike, then money on a PM, a 2nd set of wheels. That can easily take you to the budget... and then you've still got tyres/saddle/bars/tape/cages/stem/shoes/computer/mount/socksthatmatchyourframe/tubes/trainingpeaks/beatrootjuice/theraphasale/glasseslikewotliketheproswear etc

Lol chill out mate. I've never spent 4k in one whack.

Dunno. I am with Scoble. If you're spending 4k - normally you know what you're looking for, rather than asking for advice... So Ed's assumption that he's new to cycling isn't ridiculous. If I had 4k to spend on a bike I'd know exactly what I wanted!
