"I applaud your efforts, but it's a bit like buying a chunk of lead & complaining that it weighs too much."
I doubt you intended it, but that seems a little harsh. Nobody is trying to make an ultralight Clem (and she *is* getting a different bike later), Leah's just looking to improve a bike she already likes as is. As I've said elsewhere in this thread I agree a Clem L isn't a good candidate for the full gram reduction program - it's always going to be a stout frame way overbuilt for her - but lighter/fancy wheels and tires go the longest way towards reducing perceived weight and effort on a killer hill. Plus it's going to look awesome! I think she's making a good choice here that she will enjoy, and we'll love looking at all the pics. I can't wait to see it! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
