i really do think weight makes a difference.
if you are on steel at the same ratio as someone on an alu frame, you will have to work much harder to keep up in games. you will feel this when playing 20, 15 minute games over a weekend.
and my bike isn't a weight weeny or anything, it's got double discs so it's still heavy, just nowhere near as heavy as all those stupidly overbuilt hansomedog forked london polo bikes.
