You don't buy a bike until you've found an event you like enough to warrant it.
Tracks have hire bikes, MTB parks have hire bikes, you can do TTs on basically any bike, road racing you can use any road bike and you already have one so that's sorted. You only need to worry about specific bikes it it's a limiter and most times they're not.

Agree entirely but I only have the one “road” bike.
I also don’t ride with anyone who races so it’s all just a bit unknown to me.@ewanmac yeah part of it’s appeal is how much everyone seems to like it but maybe that’s a selective bias hahaha

Of course but I’m also not going to go by 5 different bikes and try each discipline equally. I’m not expecting to win anything but I also don’t want to come last every time
