The bikes are already available, and bike makers are about the last
sposors bike racing still has.

Ryan, as a general rule, the common man description excludes racer
types. You think in carbon. The CM thinks in what's left over.
The chain group points out 10 speeds are not CM level thinking either.

The drug problem, ignoring the Tommyknocker excess for the moment,
varies with the CM. More CM or common denominator, more pressure to
eliminate drug performance. Less CD, more room to experiment as the
sport tends toward a club level niche.

There's room to financially exploit the direction.

One may pray to a $89 lit from inside crystalline model of Junior's
latest ride wearing...

while cheering the mob as it takes out the mexican in the tunnel.

ugliness is money
