I am firmly of the opinion that "bike parts will weigh what they'll weigh" and that using weight as a metric for choosing what to buy is a bad idea - however! - I am also firmly of the opinion that unnecessary weight will be to the performance detriment of any bike part, especially frames. Frames should have the right "spring" for your weight and use, tires should have the most flexible casing you can get away with without too many flats, and even brake calipers should be whittled down so there is no excess inertia to them.
With that in mind what I would absolutely love to see is a tubing spec of each frame cataloged somewhere. Without extensive experience it's not exactly a science to look at these specs and know ride quality, but IMO weight is just an indirect result of this, more useful, information :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
