So you think even bars and stem don't necessarily have to be any more sturdy than usual?
The only thing I’d say is any flex in the bars and stem is more noticeable because the heavier bike has more inertia, especially when loaded. I’d stick with 31.8mm bars and stem (assuming it’s got a 1-1/8” steerer) because 25.4mm bars will feel very flexy.

I'm a light rider, and want to keep a light omnium so I can use it as my regular courier bike. I don't plan on carrying crazy heavy loads, but need the cargo space still.
So as I've always been very light on my kit I was hoping I could get away with it on the omnium too. Especially as its going to be wall stored.
My old back is suffering these days. :)
