I think the weight stuff has been slightly overblown. I know the difference weight makes us fairly marginal to non racers (I’m sure I recall that 1kg adds 1 minute to a strong rider’s time up Mt Ventoux) and it’s absolutely not the main concern. It’s more psychological and about the feel of the bike. I wouldn’t sweat it excessively and I’ve certainly not ruled the Mason out based purely on grammage.
