As someone who commutes daily, rides for fun almost daily and knows that lightweight isn't always the best choice, I agree 100%. But, as someone who also races, I'd argue that weight matters. Yes, it's frustrating when other riders have a narrow point of view . . . it's goes both ways though. Some folks never look at a bike as anything more than a means of exercise or competition or whatever - that's their loss. And some folks will never experience all the good stuff that comes along with healthy competition and setting personal goals/records - and it could be said that they're missing out on something too. in any event, i get pretty stoked when I see folks riding smart lugged steel bikes. i get equally as stoked when I see folks tearing it up on their race bikes. cycling is a great thing regardless of how you slice it. or maybe i'm just easily motivated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
