OP said racing bike not road bike. I agree commuting on a nice road bike is awesome and the comfort/endurace category of road bikes is great for that (e.g. Specialized Roubaix, Trek Domane, etc.)
I wouldn't want to commute on an all-out race bike though. Too stiff, too uncomfortable geometry.
- prmoustache 4y agoIt depends on the road, of ones flexibility more than the actual power level. I used to ride as an elite racer 20y ago, I don't ride much these days, only twice a week and mostly shorts sub 3h, rides. My power is not higher than the average dude on the bike riding several times a week. Yet I am still comfy on a racing bike because I didn't lost that flexibility. I actually feel worse when my handlebar is too high and I can't stretch my back horizontally. I uusally don't fit well on what they call endurance bikes.
