I have ridden enough CF bikes to know that I prefer steel bikes. With the size bike I need, I can get a steel bike to under 20 lbs pretty easily and that isn't even going completely weight weenie. Getting a bike down to 15 lbs won't make me like biking anymore than I already do, it won't make the ride any more enjoyable, and it won't suddenly make me want to be lance armstrong and use every ride as a race. That kind of weight difference just doesn't matter to me at all. What does matter is that the bike looks nice, will last for years, and I don't have to worry about dropping it. Is anybody making a carbon fiber touring bike yet?
