How old are you? When I was 35 years old I could run in the 23mph range with a standard lugged-steel frame road-bike, and the guys who used to win back then, 25 years ago, were running almost 30mph on fancy bikes like this with disc wheels. I don't think I would have any use for a bike that cost many thousands of dollars unless I could go close to 25 or 26mph on a standard road bike for the distance of a time trial, because it would not be the hardware that was keeping me from coming close to winning.
