IDK, the Trek District Carbon is about the same price as a Mavic IO. Is it any more ridiculous to buy the Trek than to buy the IO for use on the street ? Certainly I wouldn't, because I'm a penny pinching old coot living off social security, but some folks have the means and desire for such trappings. It's certainly a lot cheaper than other hobbies like motorcycles and cars. And don't tell me that everyone that buys a $10K+ geared racing bike is a serious racer, either.
