This debate is boring me silly, it was a good post by Dom for a bit of fun about the 2 tables but we always seem to get into the BB debate.
We know there'll always be many differences which provide advantage for one, disadvantage for another. The BB is probably just the most obvious.
Why don't we talk about brake setup? I was easily passing Andy on the brakes into the hairpin, and that's got to have nothing to do with rider ability cos he's in a different league on that count, and nothing to do with engines either since I must've been carrying at least 5mph more but still braking later.
And what's this nonsense about cost? I wish I could post up how much I paid for my pristine 620ie... I shopped around, did some deals and paid peanuts for it. I'd happily bet a winning lottery ticket that I paid less than anyone else on the grid for my bike!
I'm off out to lose some more weight!
