You're absolutely correct. My point is simply that if one has limited resources, choose proper fit (which may mean a custom-built frame) and good-quality grouppo (smooth shifting and efficient braking are important) over low weight. Contrary-wise, a $10,000 ultra-lite CF frame decked out with the latest Dura-ace that doesn't properly fit the rider is simply a pretentious waste of money. But, if it's within one's means, the best quality goods are always to be preferred. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
