"Despite what the ads say, no bicycle will level the hills for you or turn the wind. No bike will fix your flats or keep Joe six-pack from scaring you on othe scenic route. No custom Parlee will get you into the break. It may get you noticied at the cafe', post-ride. One can only hope that's the sort of glory you crave.
Your wealth may equip you more distinctively, clothe you more stylishly and perhaps coach you better, but it will not turn your cranks even one revolution, unless maybe if you put a tall stack of money on one of the pedals."
