So basically people should not have anything that they cannot use to it's full potential. Meaning about 99% of people who own sports cars shouldn't have them because they don't have the skill to get the most out of them. And no one that isn't a elite wine professional should ever buy a bottle of wine that costs more than 20 bucks cause they can't fully appreciate them. You could go on and on.
Just because someone isn't an elite racer doesn't mean they can't appreciate a high-end bike. It also doesn't mean they are pretending to be an elite racer or believe that the bike on it's own, will make them faster.
I mean really. Who here doesn't want the best bike they can reasonably afford?
