As someone else pointed out in another thread, you would need to sell a
story, adventure, or "sizzle" in order to sell the bike. That's the
first "hook." Secondly, the bike would have to impress a potential
buyer/rider in the first 60 seconds of a parking lot test ride.
Somehow, I don't think that an ad campaign of "Sleep Deprivation &
Convenience Store Food Is Fun!" would sway too many people away from
modern road bikes.
Eye it.
Try it.
Buy it.
