Functionally who is going to notice 200g on a cyclocross bike?
Are you seriously asking about noticing weight on a bike forum? People spend ££££ to reduce the weight of bikes/parts. There's rarely any science/logic behind the choices and as we all know these days they'd have probably been better off spending the money on a wind tunnel session, coach or dietician.

Am I reading this right? The new one weighs 1,399 and the old one (from 12 years ago) weighed 1,599 with derailleur hanger and seat collar? Functionally who is going to notice 200g on a cyclocross bike? And the new one costs over £1k more? Bike-flation is ridiculous.
