My wife's Ritchey Road Logic + fork + headset came in at 4.5 pounds. Obviously the Ritchey Logic's fork is lighter, but it's not that much lighter that it can account for the 3 pound weight difference between the two frames. I don't know if the Roadeo is a lot lighter than the Roadini, so it may be that if you get a Roadeo it'll be light enough. > If I recall, you are in the 150 lb range, and even having lost weight I’m > still a bit north of 160, so I daresay that the Roadeo would have tubes > light enough for me; that gauge certainly made my 2020 Matthews IGH road > bike feel faster than my OS thickwalled 2003 road custom which it replaced. > I weigh about 140 pounds right now, but this weekend I was carrying a 20 pound load on the bike. I do prefer bikes to have a bit flexy and am not putting out more sustained power than 200W, so I definitely think that the Roadini feels a bit overbuilt for me, though it is very very smooth and does a great job of damping out rough roads, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
