There is very little useful information contained in that oft-discussed quantity known as bike weight. If you shave 100 grams off your handlebar, the effect is different than shaving 100 grams off your tires. Even specifying frame weight tells only a small part of the story, since you can reduce frame weight in a variety of ways.
Personally, I don't think about weight. I select components that have the appropriate mix of function, looks, weight, durability, street cred, and affordability, and let the bike weight be the dependent variable. Then I add 30 pounds of miscellaneous crap in various bags and accessories. Then I ride and don't think about weight, or even speed. For me, as an unracer and unrandonneur, weight and speed are irrelevant, except that I need to have a rough idea how many minutes I should expect for my commute, so I'm not late. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
