I know the general reasons but more specifically, as an example, here in LA, BMC and maybe Time are 2 bike manufacturers that seem to have an aura or are seen as a cut above other bikes like Specialized, Cannondale, etc.
We all know Colnago is way up the ladder and i get that at least the top of the line bikes are made in Italy and are touched by Ernesto (in theory). But is there something other than perception that makes the BMC bikes better or more desirable than say a top of the line Look or Scott for instance?
And, i'm assuming that when you really boil it down to brass tacks, unless one is a pro racer, the cyclist may really not get the full benefit of the finer points of the bike.
Thanks,
