Funny, just had a discussion with a roadie friend here at work who insisted he could not get a Rodeo over a CAAD 10 because he would feel the extra 2-3lbs going up a hill. I have argued with him for years about this stuff but he has drank the kool aid on the need for lightweight, CF components to improve his "performance." He does do some amatuer races so I tried to convince him to get a SH then to be comfortable the rest of the time but my words are lost, unfortunately.
