Would you enjoy racing less...
If all of the gear was essentially the same? A lot of the people I ride with LOVE the techy aspect of cycling. Carbon this, aero that. It drives me nuts though. I won't go off on too much of a retrogrouch rant, but basically it seems to me like a silly zero sum game when fancier bike racing kit is introduced. "X" technology is introduced, everyone has to drop another grand or four on the tech, and now everyone has it, except for the poors, but who really cares about poor people so **** em.
Anyways, if there was a rule change to make everyone be basically on the same bike, and you really just had to focus on training and tactics, would it make cycling less fun for you? Lets for a minute forget about nuances related to fit and relative stiffness/weight for different riders. Lets say some genius level organization thought of everything perfectly, and all you had to do was buy your bike when you started racing and maintain it with standard parts. Would you still be racing?
