You don't even have to train that hard to get tangible effects within a few weeks, equal to or more than those you'd get from upgrading a bike that's already built for speed/acceleration.
But if you've got money to burn, whatever (though looking around, it seems those who train hard first and then start looking for tiny percentages through gear upgrades go a lot faster than those who go for the upgrades first, usually because subconsciously the latter are looking for results without training, so the training never gets done in the end i.e. do you want to get faster, or do you just want to spend money on bike parts?).
