Yeah I know WW.
Lighter is better in most respects as long as it's not too light. Which is why my bike has a heavier stem on it than it used to have.
We've got some pretty good materials these days you know... To get to 6.1kg, I just needed Dura-Ace and tubulars; the only real weenie part is a billet cassette.
Mind you, this is on a 2006 frame, from before the Tainting. Now, $10000 bikes weigh 7.8kg and apparently that's fine with people, but those fiddly aero hybrids aren't for me.
