I ride a steel Bianchi Pista, and I notice how much stiffer it is to normal steel road bike, surely the alu wouldn't felt that much different to steel due to the fact that track bike are design to be quite stiff? or is there's a logic that I don't understand yet to this?
The Charge Plug, while it's a heavy bike for it's kind, it's still a lots lighter than a mountain bike of the same price, even a £700 mountain bike cannot match the weight of the Charge Plug, so if it your first bike, you wouldn't really think it's heavy, in fact when I first ride it (my first ever test ride on a fixed gear bicycle was an Charge Plug from my local bike shop) I thought it was amazingly light compared to my Kona Smoke (rigid MTB).
