I weigh 95kg.. my bike weighs 8kg.. pretty clear where most of the weight is eh?
Prior to the S-Works I'd never bothered with light weight anything. I wanted durability and strength.
I don't mind having the lighter bike (it was a treat) but if I was going to race up hills regularly I'd want to think about what I'm eating, not what my bike weighs.
Problem is, most people, including me, find it MUCH easier to drop cash on bling bikes/parts than train or eat properly.
