leggy_blonde-
being a (admittedly not comitted) weight weenie I often wonder about this. Thinking particularly about cx as anyone ever looked at the effect weight has on differences in effort needed to accelerate from a slow corner back up to speed? Everything around weight vs aero seems to be about steady speed. I wonder how that changes when you have a lot of micro accelerations.
(probably not that much but I just built a light weight cx bike so looking for excuses...)

No, he saved weight on the unsprung mass, that's smart. If anything, he should have given the frame an extra coat of paint to make it weigh more.
