many of my rides are 25-50 somewhat fast, and in some ways moderately competitive group club rides. my lighter bike is quite nice for that use. so hopefully we are seeing many different ways in which we all use our bikes...and perhaps more importantly for this rambling thread, that we each of our own values about life, bikes, and the real lightness of being. i was never trying to convince anyone else to get a 17 lb carbon bike, just alluding to my experience of it. and you should all get one :). the 3 steel bikes are in the garage and the carbon one is in the house. they hate hanging out together.
