I'm not sure what adjective I would use to describe middle aged men with beer bellies wearing day-glo spandex and plastic shoes, but it sure isn't anything associated with the stereotypically fashionable gay community.

I get why mountain bikes are expensive. Strong frames, suspension, components that still work when subjected to mud and snow, wide rims that can take hits, complex tire tread patterns.

What do you get going from a $1500 road bike to a $5000-$10000 road bike? Weight savings less than the weight of a good poop, and tiny aerodynamic improvements that do not matter unless you are fast enough that your team is buying your bike for you. Oh, and electronic shifting for some reason?

As a mountain biker, roadies seem weird to me.

Please provide any input or alternative options on this,

The post asked for alternative options. I suggested an alternative option. It is not knee-jerk, and it is not noise.
