But what's the point on having a light adventure bike?
Sounds ace to me. I mean even when camping it’s nicer if the bike if it doesn’t feel like a loaded truck. Then for shorter, quicker rides a light bike is just more enjoyable and slightly faster.
..... why am I explaining this. It’s obvious no?

Me and a couple mates rode up Leith hill on our loaded bikes with camping gear. I prayed for a few kilos less and that’s by no means a big hill

Still, I don't get people spending loads on money on a lightweight carbon frame that will get massive tires, disc brakes, bags, dynamo, mudguards, etc. Of the 14 kg bike you may get a 13 kg bike, hardly a hill climb bike

But what's the point on having a light adventure bike? You're not racing anyone so what if it does take 3 seconds more to go up a hill?
