Charge is a lot heavier though- light weight is good in a bike.
That said you'll never break the Charge.
However- I think the point here is to get a decent bike for the smallest amount possible and then save up for the bike of your dreams.
For example- I bought an OTP, and am steadily replacing bits.
However the total cost of my wheel build (DA 7600 hubs to CXP30's) should be around £160 all in, built from new and nearly new components.
That should list at around £300, but having the time to seek out bargains means that you don't have to pay through the nose.
