But the reviewers still wouldn't be paying for the bike...
I'm in no way challenging the conclusions drawn by reviewers here. I'm not suggesting their opinions on how the product works are in any way invalid or wrong. I'm suggesting that this whole review game is lacking some context in what it actually means to walk into a store and throw down a credit card to pay full retail price for said item. I'm saying there's something weird about how casually we toss off opinions about really expensive bikes that most people can't dream of affording. I'm suggesting that when people are shopping for a bike and thinking of bumping up a trim level based on what a review says, they should remember these things.
That is all.
