a sachs cx frame weighs about 3.5 lbs. i get to see a lot of his cx bikes in action and they are ridden *hard.* riding tubies at 30psi helps to soften things up a bit and take the edge off the rough stuff - but still, i think it's proof that a high quality lightweight steel bike need not be relegated to paved roads/smoothish surfaces. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
