      @@embuscadochifreinexplicaca5960 20% is a huge overestimation. The top of the line UCI legal bikes have maybe 5% advantage over an entry level race bike (like an aluminum Trek Emonda) in a time trial (watch GCN's eBay challenge, their upgraded cheap bike is 3% slower than their top of the line orbea). In stage races it'll be even less. Granted even a 1% advantage is still a lot for pro racers sincr GTs are usually won by a margin less than 0.1%, the difference the bike makes is not nearly as high as manufacturers would like you to believe.
      For my 40k commutes, how fast I can go is always decided by traffic lights, not whether I rode my 6kg race bike or 10kg gravel bike.
