My arms are super long! Need that aero position on my commute, dude!
The weight isn't the primary reason for stripping. There is no primary reason! Would just be interesting to find out how much the paint weighs. I've always wondered why competitive bikes try and make weight savings wherever possible yet still add non-functional weight to the bike in the form of a paintjob.
