Just how important is the bike to the cyclist?
At our bonenkai the other week, beer was flowing and everyone was talking about the bikes they want, the wheels they need etc etc.
When I announced that 90% is you the engine and so long as the bike fits you should be able to be competitive with the best, there were gasps a plenty. Non more so from the club shop owner!
Murayama san (Mr. Hillclimb) stood up, and when he stands up people take notice, to announce that I was wrong and it was more like 95%! Laughs all round! But he's serious and everyone knows it.
Other heated discussion emerged when I said that his 4 hours a night on a stationary bike watching TV for base training is excessive. He responded "Look son, when spring comes around and you try to fine tune your little engine, enjoy listening to it purr. When I get to tuning up my big engine... listen to the tiger roar!"
Anyway, so just how important is the bike you ride???
The floor is open for some heated debate....
