I have 3k wrapped in my Cervelo TT bike I use for triathlons. That is the basement model with modest upgrades.
When I did Ironman Wisconsin I rented Zipp 404's for $150. Those wheels are on the cheaper side, about $1,800 a set.
Also I remember Cooper Webb saying he got worked in the sport class, that's like the B minus class for those not familiar.
I'm not bagging on these guys, like I said, I don't know, I've never ridden with them, I'm just curious to see what their level is. Johnny O is a beast I think but he's been at this for a long time. The cool thing about cycling is that a 50 year old could easily smoke a 25 year old young buck. There's such a smaller prime age range for moto while in cycling it can extend go way beyond that.
And ML, it's really hard to gauge their level by just looking at some strava rides. Avg speed doesn't meant jack, maybe power if they used a PM, knew their weight, and if you really looked deep into it and analyzed those numbers, but ain't nobody got time for that.
Next time I'm in Cali hook me up with a "cool guys" ride?
Hey listen, I love bikes and cool stuff, but I'll be the first to admit that hardcore cyclists are suckers when it comes to marketing gimmicks... and I'm not exempt. The cycling industry does a great job at brainwashing its consumers that marginal gains will translate into night and day result improvements. But they have to, otherwise they would never sell shit, and the wheel needs to keep spinning (no pun intended).
boost, internal rims that are 2mm widers, 11 vs 12 sp drivetrains, new bottom bracket standards.... blah blah blah, just another way to sell more.
When O'Mara quit moto, he went straight to the top of the expert XC class at the national level, back when that was sort of like racing A class at Loretta's before going pro. He then went pro but didn't set the world on fire. Funny to look at it now and realize he was racing with John Tomac. In retrospect, it's possible he was clean when others weren't.
I recall seeing mention of Jeff Stanton and Doug Henry racing XC MTB too.
I'm just jealous of you west coasters....
World's Heaviest Bike
Road racing has a bit of a risk factor for sure, if I'm paying a guy ton of money to race Moto there's no way I'm letting him ride a cat 5 road race or criterium!! More clavicles are broken in road racing that motocross, based on my years.
This one caught my eye a couple years ago, Canadian MX stalwart Tyler Medaglia putting in a very good ride in the Elite category at the Canadian Cyclocross Nationals in 2016:

Pit Row
I watch the UFC Embedded that featured Mcgregor riding a road bike....needless to say, it looked like the second time he was ever on a bicycle...
My pops rocked one of these magnesium frames during his triathlon days.
Hammer 663s
his new bike:
little fun fact: the letters on his bike are made out of gold not paint.
Now, let's see this Kimber...
