Sheeeit.
I am pretty new to all of this stuff in cycling (two wheels? point bike > go, pretty much was my mental investment in cycling).
As a 40something skater, I took an interest in the slalom scene that grew on the south coast in the ‘00s. It used to puzzle me that guys my age would spend enormous sums on carbon decks, CNC’d trucks &c &c to save a few hundred grams when they themselves were many kilos overweight.
Totally accept I am probably missing the point here : )
