Unless you are a legit elite top 1% rider, a $10k bike offers nothing that a nicely spec'd $2k bike doesn't offer.

I've been a motorcycle marshal for big triathlon races (Ironman and others) over the last few years. Aside from the elites who are basically all on the high-dollar bikes, the value of the bike seems to be a near-insignificant factor in the overall performance equation.
