How much of cycling is down to the bike?
...
So from your experience, how much does a well built and kitted out bike effect your performance?
first off that 'Anniversary Limited Edition Model' cannondale is the perfect example of how to piss away your money on something that isn't worth the price tag.
sastre would still have won the tour this year using 105. lots of good continental teams ride the lowest spec stuff because they don't have much money.
the 150quid bike is another story. i wouldn't trust that with my life descending at 100kmph+ in a group, at least as much as would a bike made from tin foil.
