Bikes should be designed for average to expert lever riders, as we are the ones who are paying for them. Pros should be on custom frames that share the same design and aesthetic but use geometry, suspension kinematics, and construction that is tailored for them. This might mean they run alloy frames while the production is carbon. Everybody wins: pros aren't held back by our needs, we aren't passengers on a hyperspace barge that we can't make sense of.
