No, I'm talking about the bike's weight and the commensurate feel. There's no point in 'spending' 2-3kg on a stiffer, heavier touring bike designed for 20+kg loads when this bike will be carrying an evenly-distributed 7-8kg at the worst, and perhaps only 1-2kg on 90% of of rides.

I got that, I'm saying that going over a bike that 1-2kg lighter won't make that muchof a difference than you think.

Agreed if all things are equal, but what I'm saying is the difference between a carbon-forked machine and a sturdy steel-framed tourer is more than the difference in weight alone.

Either way I think I'm going for a CdA 20, a few hundred cheaper than the Pinnacle.
