Oh no, there is a huge difference in feel, which is what I keep repeating. And that "feel" is for some people a great part of the fun. Yesteray's ride when I went out and grunted the 17 3/4 lb 75" fixie up some steepish and longish hills (northern Rio Rancho for you locals) was great fun. I worked, not all-out, but kept my heartbeat up in the higher registers: not on purpose but because it is **fun** for me to work hard. Not that all this hard work generates a lot of speed, but it is the sort of ride I enjoy.
So, to repeat again: Fun can = speed can = light. No harm in that! And again I repeat: I enjoy my 33lb+ Fargo but it is a *different* kind of enjoyment, obviously.
