Bike & Frame Weight

Weight makes - for me at least - the greatest difference when riding a bike - I am more than sure it will differ for the individual, but depending on your riding style, how you throw a bike around and so on, getting on a super light bike can be revelatory.

Going fixed, although something of a milestone for me - simply does not compare to changing from a 30lb bike to a 13lb bike. - If I were to give up either riding fixed or riding a super lightweight bike, it would fixed that goes first.

My 29er weighs 8.5Kg (I think). I went pretty weight weenie on it, but it still has a steel frame. Of all the interesting aspects of this bike, I'd have to be honest and say the lack of weight is the most notiable thing when throwing it around trails.

I'm hoping to put together a sub 6Kg road bike next.
