If you're 80kg use the cheap, heavy wheels, lose 2kg of body weight and boom you've saved money and broken even in weight terms
Surely you'll have saved weight unless the lightweight wheel option is in fact weightless. To break even you just need to lose the difference in weight between the wheelsets, which is unlikely to be more than about 600g. Somewhere between a haircut and a really big poo.
Brommers-
I like what you've done with the place! Give the man a cigar! Etc.

I have an entire year's worth of hair and beard at the moment, look something like this:
Definite weight gains to be made there. Then again @hippy also rocks the wild man look (no offence intended to him...) and his riding credentials are impressive, maybe his hair gives him Samson-power
@Chalfie those look ideal and great price... I might be pushing it a tiny bit at 85-90 kg total weight though. I'm not hard on my wheels and I know how to repair them and stuff but I think flex/stiffness is probably going to be an issue. How much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? Also maybe I'll inherit a bit of #buyer seeing as they used to belong to @amey
Will get myself in the weight loss thread and see how many kilos I can drop over the next month
@Dogs yeah it's mad. I haven't even got bars/stem together yet so not even thought about cable routing aside from noticing it was particularly weird on the front brake. I'll probably jam my foot in it by accident and smash the bike to bits

Does not compute.
I can't weight (swidt) for weight weenyism to disappear. "look i can pick it up with my little finger" was never a measure for success racing.
