A cycling life often goes something like this: see beautiful bike, desire it, obtain bike, think you can ride fast, make depressing discovery that there are many others who can ride faster and further than you.
At this point you either give up or become interested in training, and this subject will concern you for the rest of your cycling career. Also, the longer you're in this game the more you come to think that fitness is more important than kit; so perhaps this subject should be a sticky thread, or even a 'category' in its own right?
