I really love bikes that goes beyond regular, but must wonder why sacrifice stiffness in exchange for weight on a track?

PhilDAS in reply to @Pawlus

Weight and aero more important than stiffness for riding consistently for an hour?
I'd have still thought stiffness was better than lightness but I'm no engineer

Neither were the people who made these bikes. Cycling has always suffered from chasing after what you could measure, and since back in the day they couldn't measure aeros (or at least didn't think it was worth trying) they chased weight which they could measure.
